Does anybody now how to disable all hashing on macOS? The best I could do was disable GateKeeper with `sudo spctl --master-disable`.

You can also disable code signing enforcement and amfi by adding the following boot args: cs_enforcement_disable=1 amfi_get_out_of_my_way=1

Would anyone be able to explain more specifically how cs_enforcement_disable is is different from disabling Gatekeeper?

.

I don't think everyone is experiencing it. My Mac became nearly completely unresponsive. Rebooting didn't help, it took forever to finish rebooting. ocsp.apple.com 127.0.0.1 in /private/etc/hosts got it moving again.

Same, but I thought it was my backup software. I didn’t think my version of the OS was sending back the hashes.

You should never, ever, install a MacOS update the moment it comes out. There is a high chance (> 30% from my experience) that something will be wrong with it. iOS too for that matter. Wait for at least one week and check out other people's experiences first.

This applies to every Mac, with or without an update.

Not only Macs. “There is a high chance that something will be wrong with it” applies to almost all software of the size of modern OSes.
