spotify_battery_drain.bash
# If you open your Ressource monitoring under OSX, you'll see that the
# Process "Spotify Helper" is eating between 20% and 30% of CPU constantly
# It means that when you're on battery, it'll drain it faster.
# To prevent the Spotify Helper (which are basically ads for spotify) from spawning process,
# you should disable access to the app doing this (close Spotify first) :
sudo chmod 000 "/Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Frameworks/Spotify Helper EH.app"
sudo chmod -N "/Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/Frameworks/Spotify Helper EH.app"
