Install and Activate Microsoft Office 365 for Free - A Step-by-Step Guide

This is a guide on how to install the latest version of Microsoft Office for free. For this method, we will use the Office Deployment Tool. The Microsoft Office Deployment Tool is a command-line program that IT managers use to configure and deliver Office products to PCs in their businesses, but in this guide, we will use it to install Microsoft Office with additional customization options and download it straight from Microsoft's servers.

NOTE: You will not need to repeat this step again to upgrade. Just keep your Office up to date and you will not have any issues.

How to defang system protections on macOS

How to Defang macOS System Protections

If you want to change things on the root drive of a Mac you will need to take some steps to disable the built in security of the system. Most of these steps are the same regardless if you are on Intel or Apple Silicon. If there is a difference it is noted.

Note that all of these things put a Mac into an unsupported and less secure state.

Make sure you either perform these steps in a VM or that you reset the protections after you are done poking around

Shell scripts to speed up your mac boot time, accelerate loading, and prevent unnecessary throttling.

macOS can be heavily modified using the defaults command. In fact, almost every option is accessible via defaults.

A great way to see what ticking and unticking a box in the Settings App is by using:

# TEMPORARILY disabling (e.g. STOPPING via 'bootout') unwanted services on macOS 11 Big Sur and macOS 12 Monterey:
# This version is for a special boot that optimizes for real-time music performance and streaming video.
# Due to the read-only system volume introduced with macOS Catalina, this script can NOT be run in Recovery mode's Terminal.
# For my purposes I leave WiFi enabled, for streaming video to a local router with no internet connection.
