I'm a chink and I approve this rice.

These don't sound like bad suggestions but I feel like this is all obvious and doesn't make a significant difference

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.

they increase the snappiness of the UI, and reduce wasted battery life. i saved about 8%, and stuff just seems to move faster

Siri, motion & transparency, dock animations, mission control, spotlight search, and accessibility stuff you never use are just a drag on your system.

>drag on my system
>newer model rmbp

I don't think so

Install Gentoo.

r u retard?

Nice shitpost, you mouth-breathing mongoloid. Get raped and gas yourself, you dumb fucking shit stain.

it really is faster

thanks for this OP

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?

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.

You're not even being funny or subtle with your shitpost user. You literally just come off as a jellyfag.

>t. freetard

>look guys I posted it again

>t. mactoddler

Underage faggot please leave

I use Linux tho, I said that I am a freetard. You're just not funny at all. I bet you're "that guy" irl too. I'm sorry senpai.

built in camera is enough, but get a blue yeti mic or something

Got a few more

>Keyboard > Shortcuts
disable everything
>Keyboard > Shortcut > Services
disable everything, and create your own. most of the defaults are never going to be used, and are literally eating process time on your cpu in finder

>Keyboard > Shortcut > Accessibility
disable everything

>Keyboard > Shortcut > App Shortcuts >Show Help menu
disable that useless running in every app

use it to learn how to program. download Xcode

okay Sup Forums, I also got a Mac. Now I want to code. Where can I find good xcode programming guides?

Also: why is X11 forwarding so shitty supported on macOS?

What's with all the Macshit threads?

Is Apple paying people extra to shill at Christmas?

the salt from this jew is unbelievable

>ricing
>follow step by step tutorial
>no point of tutorial let's you choose

you completely misunderstood ricing. it's freedom to tweak your system the way you want, not the way your apple-master (or author of tutorial) wants

Or you could just sell it and buy a decent laptop, like the Dell XPS.

Stupid question: Can I do anything with a 2006 MacBook Polycarbonate? I can put Windows on it sure, but what all can I do otherwise?

>t. mactodler

wew, made absolutely 0 (zero) difference

improved my battery life noticably, also sped up an older mac mini i have

You hate Windows too, just admit it.

so you got a mbp for xmas?

I'm here to tell you how to use it properly.

install brew, install iterm2, install your prefered text editor.

>brew
yes

>iterm2
eh

>text editor
yes

also hex fiend

mpv

brew cask

Fed up of OS X? Good news is you can install a superior OS called gentoo from gentoo.org

THIS

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

/thread

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

Hopefully one day there will be a cure for autism.

>just got a Macbook Pro for Christmas

On eBay it goes!

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.

works. thanks op

lmao ignore the butthurt 17 year old's whose poor parents didn't buy them a macbook for christmas to teach them a lesson about getting a job.

>macshit
lmao, if only you knew these feels

...

this entire board has been shit and bait since 2009, but we're here forever

>he has stallman as his Sup Forums and not the crown Sup Forums prince himself

use switcharoo

...

system prefs - keyboard - input sources - add - hawaiian

keyboard - show keyboard and symbol viewers on

date & time - clock - announce the time on the hour - customize voice - zarvox

Get the fuck out of here you fucking idiot

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).

>t. mactoddler

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.

I want to hatefuck her face.

...

>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.

Was hoping this thread would talk about using alternative window managers and desktop environments on OSX

>t. mactoddler

Why give a good laptop autism?

>good laptop

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.

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.

I got one from family and can't return it. Neither can I afford to get another. Might as well enjoy this.

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.

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.

>t. mactoddler

probably accomplished more work with computers than you ever have

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.
