Ah yes, me turning on my laptop.

Of course, this process needs 100% of the CPU, overclock the fans and make it sound like a F16 fighter jet, use up all of my 32 GBs of RAM and loan another 120 GB RAM from the bank under my name.

What the hell are you running?

Sounds like the sound of `docker-compose up`

His "homework" folder gets indexed at boot

Just the typical Windows experience

Pretty sure the culprit is ai.exe

It happens all the time on Intel Macs... just idling uses all 8 real cores of the processor. The bloat in current software is out of control. Good engineering produces products that run well; excellent engineering produces products with fewer moving parts, smaller size, and hence fewer defects and less impact on resources. Computers don't do anything significantly better or more advanced than 20 years ago (ChatGPT and other AI not withstanding) yet they require 100 times the resources. Open source is actually a huge contributor to the problem. A project needs a "kidney" but the trend is to take the whole body of code just to get the kidney's function. All the cancer, dementia, body odor, and bad habits come along with the kidney.
