On OSX with just Photoshop CC installed, there's around 10 adobe related processes running at any given time, all the while making connections and sending data to both adobe and non-adobe (CDNs) IPs. And that's AFTER you disable all of it's settings including run at startup. There's even an adobe Node.js instance (wtf?) constantly running and using CPU.
I don't take kindly to my system being commandeered, so I cancelled my CC subscription, removed their bloated, slimy POS software and bought Affinity Photo.
- maljx 11y agoGo to /Library/LaunchDaemons/ and delete what you don't want to run at launch. (At your own risk of course.)
- x0x0 11y agoBetter to run "launchctl list | grep -iv com\.apple" for both yourself and root; there are multiple places that startup items can be placed.
- lobster_johnson 11y agoDon't delete. Instead, run "launchctl unload -w <file name>". This will stop the service and disable it from loading on boot.
- fivesigma 11y agoTried that, didn't work. My guess is that Photoshop ran some kind of script that re-enabled it. I went to great lengths trying to gracefully disable all the CC crap before I gave up and rm -rf'd every damn file/directory containing adobe.
