I tried to disable some of the services, but this didn't work out. I'd really appreciate some help on this.

After booting I ran systemd-analyze blame and here are the results:       21.596s systemd-journal-flush.service      18.658s dev-sda8.device      15.099s dev-loop33.device      15.034s dev-loop19.device      15.012s dev-loop34.device      14.989s dev-loop21.device      14.877s dev-loop15.device      14.866s dev-loop26.device      14.773s dev-loop27.device      14.684s dev-loop30.device      14.677s dev-loop32.device      14.649s dev-loop35.device      14.590s dev-loop25.device      14.267s dev-loop23.device      14.192s dev-loop24.device      14.156s dev-loop29.device      14.133s dev-loop16.device      14.065s dev-loop31.device      14.059s dev-loop28.device      13.821s dev-loop20.device      13.531s dev-loop22.device      13.495s dev-loop14.device      13.364s dev-loop18.device   What are these dev-loopxx.device (xx denotes numbers) services and why are they taking so much time? Are they related to the mounting of snaps? Can I reduce the boot time by disabling them? I'm running Ubuntu 18.04 alongside Windows 10.

Sorry for my English, I'm French and  I have  tried a lot (even with SIP disabled) but nothing works. I'm kind very desperate since I’m not sure how I would set up screen time to limit my children’s usage of the Pre-installed apps. The reason why I need to do so, is that my kid waste time in stead of studying. Is there a guide how to set this up?

I'm running Windows 8 and in the Computer menu, I see a huge list of "media server" network locations of many of the PCs in my network (most running Windows 7).    Is there a way to either locally disable this so I don't see this list every time, or disable this sharing feature on the other computers?  I've tried disabling "Media Streaming options" from the Network and Sharing Center (on my PC), but that had no effect.  Another thing I tried was enabling Media Streaming, but then selecting all the found clients and clicking Blocked in the list of found clients. That had no effect in removing the list either.  I've also attempted disabling the Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service, but alas, the list remains.  I'm starting to believe there's a magic registry key to unbury and flip to a "1", but all the searching I've done has come up empty.

I was trying to achieve this using a second account (which is the admin account) and Parental Controls, but it seemed this isn't possible to do so.  I know there are some programs which you can download that help you with this, (Cold Turkey, for example). But, it would be much easier if I could do this using only tools already available on macOS.

Not that it's a very good idea to change it, but for fun. According to  post, there are still some problems even after changing entries in /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/sudoers. Any suggestions?

I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. I want to disable network manager on an Ubuntu machine, because (1) I don't need it, (2) I prefer having hardcoded configuration, and (3) network manager regularly causes issues by changing the DHCP configuration. I tried to follow :  Stop network manager sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager.service  Disable network manager (permanently) to avoid it restarting after a reboot sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager.service   Despite this, the network manager is back again every time I reboot the machine. How can I make it go away?

I have recently installed a program that deploys an agent which "protects" from peripherals. What it actually does at this point is to block any kind of media I plug to my PC.  I've done some checking and I found the name of this service blocking my peripherals. So, naturally, I've tried stopping it.  First I tried the sc stop, but I was denied the access. Trying to do it by services.msc will result in not even giving me the priviledge to use stop on that service. Same response from taskkill: Access denied... Then I figured I'd try net stop resulting with the 2191 message which if I try net helpmsg 2191 does not give any information. I then decided to surf Superuser and found out about these pstools. But as soon as I try to do the cmd switch with psexec -s cmd I get the message:   Couldn't install PsExec service: access is denied.  Strangely, if I try to use just psexec it does prompt me with the help info. So this was a dead end again.  After all these fails I have decided to just remove it from startup right? So I open msconfig and remove the service from startup, save and finally reboot. Unfortunately, when PC reboots so does the service. By the time I can access the task manager the service is already running, again. Can't really imagine how though.  All these access failures made me think I might not have the required privileges or something, but my user account is set as administrator so I think there's nothing more I can do.

There seems to be some bug where mac os is constantly contacting . You can prevent it by turning off the wifi, but then your computer is nothing more than a fancy calculator. Is there a program, vpn, or even the firewall option, to block this site from the whole os?

I've found various sources of info about removing these annoying things which I never use... but I haven't succeeded in getting rid of the following.    (Avira-related:) - Scan selected files with Avira  (I believe all this is M$ crapware... I presume it's all been lovingly crafted so they're all impossible to remove. You never know, though: some super-uber-uber-geek might just have found a way) - Restore previous versions  - Cut - Copy - Delete  - Rename
