OSX phoning home.....

Posted 2 years, 8 months ago on July 6, 2006 by yerma  Apple

According to an article on engadget my mac is now phoning home 3 times a day in order to "verify that my widgets are not insecure" - what a load of old shite.... One of the commenters on the blog gave the following link which shows how to disable it. Short version is:

sudo mv /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist /etc/mach_init.d/dashboardadvisoryd.plist.disabled

Also, a link to prevent the dashboard from being run.
