How to remove WiFi/Bluetooth safely?

Apple keeps the Bluetooth channel 3 open and calling 24/7. You can’t turn it off. It’s supposedly for wireless mouses and keyboards to be able to grab on just in case yours fails and the house is on fire so super keyboard knows where to land and save the day..

anyway there aint a update or a firewall in the world gonna save you… a line of code is stored on a virtual volume and you can rub the color off of your drives in Recovery Mode, soon as you hit reboot, install or recover “Heres’s Johnny”

you our can take your modem, unplug it and throw it in the street. Disable every network configuration in SP (don’t forget that mother fu$@@ing Thunderbolt Bridge BS either) if some one next door stands too close to the wall and their cell phone (that’s probably logged in a thousand different cache locations) it will flip either your Bluetooth trigger or maybe the Infared Signal and activate a handshake that will tell your preferences to turn your oven off lol, no cut your WiFi back on and hide the process so it looks to you like everything is off but meanwhile it’s slowly configuring itself to never be caught in a situation where you throw the modem in the street and leave it lifeless again.

Nobody plays the the chess app, it’s a Trojan Horse (the wooden knight piece is the logo) it’s there to specifically watch your moves and prepare itself to counter. In as few moves as possible. Or use a program in the CONTENTS > RESOURCES folder called .suicide (I swear to god) and it’s there to drive the computer into the dirt when losing or help you do it… cause soon as you format the disk in Recovery mode it’s “Here’s Johnny” I mean “Welcome to macOS Language Chooser.. blah blah blah”

Back doors are often your own creation by not setting up strong enough passwords and/or using the Admin user account instead of setting up user accounts that are limited for day to day use. Then only using the admin account to maintain the system. Also setup required password on boot up.

Root kits are OS break-ins. As to the risk while it's not zero its as close as you can get running OS-X Lion or newer without another OS running on your system. Other OS's are much more risky.

Anything running in RAM gets lost as soon as you power down your system (but not in sleep mode).

As to Firmware sure its possible for someone to alter it but they would need direct access to your system to do that (no means to do it remotely).

As to your system being exposed just being connected to your Ethernet network, Yes, your system is broadcasting its name across your local network so it can be seen and someone could also probe your IP network finding your system from the internet. So yes you are exposed!

Now crossing the street or driving a car could be dangerous too! but we don't panic on that risk. Basically, I think your over doing it here.

You just can't live with zero risk, but you can be smart!

Don't download apps from pirate sites, don't open email that you don't know the sender. Install and maintain a good anti-virus app and use it to scan your HD often. Maintain your OS & Apps, Have a good backup setup so you can recover things. Setup a good router and maybe even a double Nat'ed setup (2 routers). Enable Find my Mac and consider setup a hardware password. Use user accounts effectively. Don't leave sensitive data on your laptop and use encryption on it so its not easily readable and lock it so it doesn't walk away on its own (Kensington laptop lock).

Lastly, enjoy life! Don't cower in fear, life is too short.

yeah. turning it off in your OS does next to nothing. When you boot under recovery or a bootable USB drive you still send out probe requests.

And if you've never heard of OTA updates... well they arn't just for phones. Any laptop made after 2010 is capable of upgrading ANY hardware based firmware which resides in the OS such as UEFI or WiFi drivers by associating directly with a cell tower before you even log in or are fully booted. This is to stop piracy now act + illegal emergency actions

Unattended upgraded does nothing to your physical ports. Whoever thinks removing unused hardware has anything to do with physical security is silly. That’s like saying there is no point in self defense because some people are aggressive. Or, that taekwondo is anything other than a sport. If I don’t know something I just offer up something which sounds similar but really isn’t and claim I’m right anyway.

Its not like you can just look this stuff up… idiots
