Bbedit turn off hints update#
Yes Apple should have made this feature perfectly clear before people made the update to 10.4.7, and yes there should be the option to turn this feature of for the paranoid amongst us.personally i have no issue with dashboardadvisory calling home for it's intended purpose, with one exception, IMHO there is no need for it to call out every 8 hours, surely once a day is enough.having had a look at the contents of .ist there is a section near the end that reads /System/Library/CoreServices/Dock.app/Contents/Resources/fetchadvisory StartIntervalĒ8800now my question is, does the number 28800 represent 8 hours (there is 28800 seconds in 8 hours if my maths is still good) and if so then if we changed that figure to 86400 would that mean that dashboradadvisory will only call apple every 24 hours. Overall, adding this in without notification or an easy way to turn it off (or, even better, default to OFF and let the user turn it on IF WANTED), is a VERY BAD IDEA if Apple want to be liked by the corporate or education markets, people still on on-demand connections, or people that just don't like changes that aren't obvious to find or change.

Not something people on broadband think of these days, but grandma and grandpa who just bought an 'easy to use' Mac with cheap dial-up may find important. Or even think of the person on dial up that suddenly has their computer trying to connect to the internet.

If you worked on a network with hundreds or thousands of machines that all decide to send previously-unknown timed network traffic, you might have to take all those machines completely offline to find the offending program (possibly malicious code), then possibly disable the program on each computer, block the IP port for the network, or remove the program from the computer completely, based on company policy. I get the feeling you either didn't read or didn't understand the second paragraph of the hint: "Quite handy you might think, but on large networks, you probably would like to prevent this." Who are you that walk across the graves of giants at this late hour? There are far more important things to worry about than this with regards to privacy and the overreaching hand of corporations. Claiming these two items as being the same class of privacy issue is indeed bigotry, and as Apple enthusiasts, we should be constantly ready to mention that. We are merely pointing out the complete mischaracterization of the whole thing by people looking to lump Apple with the idiots in charge at Redmond. Most people are not defending apple to the death (like it was a "church") in regards to this issue (and certainly this thread is nothing like some I've seen on this subject). It's not required.Ĭoincidentally, WGA was required and was going to BE required to get updates for Windows.
Being angry for something perceived as an affront to your privacy (like WGA really is) is irrational. So being "angry" that Apple didn't give you a separate installer for the program is fine. They have since bowed to the pressure for now, but the cat's out of the bag over on the Redmond side of the fence. The term's on the front burner of popularity recently because Microsoft is indeed phoning home your data to check on your valid licenses without your consent. The term "Phone Home" means that this process sends personally identifiable data back to some third party without your consent. Now restart your computer, and this process won't start automatically. Leave the input mode and save the file as before. System/Library/LaunchDaemons/.istĪnd enter input mode once again by pressing i, and after the line that reads, we also add the lines:
The file is saved and mach_init.d won't start this process anymore. Press Escape to leave the edit mode and type :wq, followed by Enter, to save the file and quite the editor. Next type an i to enter input mode, and add the following two lines below the line that reads :

When asked for a password, retype your own password to verify that it's still you and not someone else. Login with an administrative account and open Terminal, then execute the following command: Quite handy you might think, but on large networks, you probably would like to prevent this.

When you update Mac OS X 10.4 to 10.4.7, Dashboard starts 'phoning home' - it checks for updates on the internet for your widgets on the following two URLs:įor this, it launches a process called dashboardadvisoryd, and checks every day for new widgets.
