I'm here to tell you how to rice it for maximum performance, if you want to.
System Preferences > General Use dark menu bar and Dock Show Scroll Bars >When Scrolling allow handoff >unchecked Desktop and Screensaver >change picture every login Dock >Magnification Off. >Minimize windows using >Scale effect Mission Control >automatically rearrange spaces off Dashboard >off Spotlight >allow spotlight suggestions in lookup off >everything else uncheck whatever you won't need >notifications everything except your most used apps off >Displays airplay display off
>Trackpad >More Gestures >all except swipe between pages, swipe between fullscreen apps, and mission control off >Point & Click >tap to click on >secondary click on >Accessibility > Display Reduce Motion Reduce Transparency
>Zoom Zoom style >picture in picture >Zoom Options >enable temporary zoom off >Siri off
These don't sound like bad suggestions but I feel like this is all obvious and doesn't make a significant difference
Isaiah Clark
the only objectively good thing is showing scroll bars only when scrolling the rest is just a matter of personal opinion

Nice shitpost, you mouth-breathing mongoloid. Get raped and gas yourself, you dumb fucking shit stain.
Caleb Ramirez
they increase the snappiness of the UI, and reduce wasted battery life. i saved about 8%, and stuff just seems to move faster
Aaron Morales
Siri, motion & transparency, dock animations, mission control, spotlight search, and accessibility stuff you never use are just a drag on your system.

I don't think so

Where do technology illiterate mactoddler morons get the false impression that they or their fruity toddler toys are welcome much less belong on a technology board?
Jace Nelson
Guys, I told my parents I wanted to start a YouTube channel but needed a computer to do it, so they went and bought me a specc'd out MacBook Pro for Christmas. Looking around it looks like they probably paid around $4K for it!
What software do I need to start making videos? Is the HD camera built into this enough, or do I need something else. I got about $1500 in prepaid debit cards from my other family members, so I can buy a camera if need be.

Macfags get the fuck out and go back to your faggy little hugbox reddit or Tumblr or wherever you Cucks come from

The funny thing is that pretty soon Macfags won't even have Macs because the faggy cuck company they worship is so fucking retarded they're trying to get rid of Macs and OSX because they want all their little mouth breathing hipster cock sucking faggot toddlers to live in the shitty little itoddler iOS ecosystem
You faggots are so fucking sad. But hey, thanks for the show. It's hilarious to watch you idiots waste your money and suck on Apple's dying aids infested cock
This board is for technology enthusiasts only. You and you're shitty little Apple products don't belong here.
Therefore, Macfags need to GET THE FUCK OUT

I need to re-purpose my old late2008 Macbook. I already added 8gb ram and a SSD on this bitch but I haven't used this laptop as my primary platform for a couple years every since I ended up assembly a PC.
Any ideas?

I'm a mactoddler and I think this thread is shit and bait.

Scrap it, if it's in good shape you might get some buck from some idiot for it.
Anything pre late 2009 is useless nowadays, 32-bit only and very weak graphics.

I'm fine with most of the stuff OOB.
macOS isn't a heavily customizable OS anyway. That isn't why I care about it (which I don't really but I like having a Mac around anyway for research and work purposes).

The only macOS thing I ever used before this in my house was a Hackintosh, which takes a ton of overhead to keep running smoothly.
So fuck off.
I don't use macOS for real shit anyway.

>Enjoy. The mac is now as fast as possible. No it is not. There is a shitload of services that can be disabled only via launchd. E.g. softwareupdated and installd daemons can be disabled while on battery power without breaking anything, while saving you 250mb of ram.

Wow man, this really changed my opinion on Macs. I'm going to throw away all my Macintoshes right now because I can't stand this anymore! Why can't Mac OS X just start to be gooder? It can't because things like this. Fucking Steve Jobs and his bulllshit. I can't believe an operating system like this exists. I'm going back to Linux right now and show all the people how much gooder Linux is than Macintosh OS X. Bullshit ass nigger bitches at Apple, can't even do anything right for once. When will they learn that Linux is more gooder than Mac? This is why no one should even buy a Mac anyways, because they're all garbage pieces of shit that just don't work at all, EVER! Like what the fuck man? I can't even use it because it's just a broken, unfinished piece of shit that Apple excreted out of their stupid asses. "Hey guys! Let's excrete this shitting OS called Macintosh OS X and then let everyone use it!" Little do they know, that it is a piece of shit ass. Why would anyone use this???? Like holy fuck this makes me want to die and then take a piece of shit and then stick it down my penis until I die. Fucking pieces of shit at Apple. Thank you for reading my blog post.
Julian Baker
Apple died along with Steve. That man knew what he was doing, and just the same as the other time he left (NeXT), Apple lost it's touch with innovation. Here we are again, but instead of having shitty management with a confusing product line, we've just got shitty products in general.
Look at Apple, look at NeXT, look at Pixar. Everywhere Steve went, success followed. Pixar is now the only good reminder of his achievements - don't bother to use Mac OS X past Mountain Lion. It's not worth it.
The tag line used to be "It just works," and while this does work for things such as compact macs... It simply does not apply to any more modern products. You have to set it all up now - modify it to get it to a useful state. I shouldn't have to do this - It should just work.
Nobody said to get rid of your Macs - Just that you should put a little more consideration into your purchases next time around.
Andrew Lee
I got one from family and can't return it. Neither can I afford to get another. Might as well enjoy this.
Carter Morgan
The accessibility options really are unnessisary services which are running in the background by default.
Turning them off does increase the snappiness of the UI, especially on older macs. Anyone saying this is retarded, is in fact, retarded.
Julian Russell
I did consider, and I'd rather have a premium aluminium chassis, a polished, widely supported Unix/BSD based OS, an incredible battery life, and a great screen in the objectively best form factor and weight.
15" rMBP is the best laptop out there, loser.

Don't turn on Reduce Motion if you use Mission Control a lot. It removes the window shrinking animation, so finding the window you want will be a bit jarring.
