What the heck is it doing? My work laptop fan always seems to be blasting air whether it is 10pm or 3am. It's in a reboot loop now so I just shut it off.
All my Linux machines are all quiet when nothing is running. In contrast I go to the bathroom at 10pm or 3am and the work laptop fan is blasting. I've logged and see some other security stuff taking up CPU cycles but it happens at least a few times an hour. I wonder how much electricity the world is wasting with this crap.
When I first got the laptop when I started this job 5 years ago I thought it must be infected with malware because it was always running the fan so I put it in a separate VLAN so it can't attack my home Linux machines. IT told me it is security software. Who knew that the cyber attack would come from inside the security software.
