systempolicyd - akd - appstoreagent - Apple Telemetry on Mac Big Sur (Slowing down the whole computer) - Keeps pinging DNS names like icloud.com , apple.com from studentd-

I am using my macbook basically because I like the size of the hardware ha ha. I cannot update to Sonoma and am missing lots of security updates. I constantly use my Laptop on public wifi as I do not have internet at home right now.

Can someone explain to me the following: all of these applications are pinging home to apple, disconnecting them suffers no Loss except a faster internet connection and faster CPU load time. I am using my computer for monitoring and want to list that it looks like these applications are not required. How did they come about my computer? What is the exact purpose, and if blocked I do not see a difference. Seems like I somehow might have picked up malware from an update during Recovery Internet updating when my laptop was backflashed to a previous version of OS X that I didnt even recognize.

• Programs are the following:
• akd
• trustd
• studentd
• syspolicyd

Is this a macintosh spear fish attempt? This has been sitting on my BigSur and again seems to just use packets to phone home to the mother ship. I do not think this is needed since you are not pushing security updates to my laptop :) Next macbook should be a LEASE!
