Well, the government isn't being effective against the true criminals here (the virus developers), and anti-virus isn't free, and government isn't subsidising AV software. Something's gotta give.

The only benefit I can think of is prevention of [accidental?] modification of `state` within your selectPropsFromState functions or within rendering code itself. Which is something you should never, ever do anyway, and the mistake should b

If you'd prefer being harder to track over having Time Machine, push notifications, and several sync services work, then you can disable most of them; if you'd prefer services to work and usability of your applications, none of th

It's definitely a comprehensive guide, and disabling "phone home" services is the heaviest-hitting bit — but it's not a single large script for a reason, and as the guide mentions you should at least scan the list befo

It is, actually; just maybe not on a timescale you're looking at things on. Alternatively we could never depreciate it and use it forever, a much worse scenario.
