This problem is actually the reason I've fallen out of love with Macos as a platform for my home computers.

There's way too much stuff that goes around, daemons that are waking up at any given point and doing a lot of I/O, for which there's absolutely no documentation whatsoever.

It kills the performance on my old Macs and also doesn't inspire confidence that I'm a user/owner of the device.

...What gave you that delusion? Are you one of those people who clicks "okay" to EULAs without reading them?


Actually you still own the device just not the stuff making it actually useful. That is still owned by apple. (EULA)
