    Macbook 5,1 (late 2008) freezing w/ green lines

    Hi, I'm new here so I hope I'm posting this on the right place. I have a macbook 5,1 (late 2008) which was working really fine. Unfortunately, recently it started to freeze.

    Disable YouTube 60 FPS (Force 30 FPS): Save battery and reduce YouTube CPU usage by 2-4x!

    This was inspired by the fact that my MacBook Pro 2010 uses over 100% CPU and starts lagging when trying to play 1080p60 videos on YouTube. Safari slows down, the video freezes, the audio glitches and the browser feels like it is going to crash, all while the "VTDecoderXPCService" process uses...
