I have no idea why anyone left the high seas in the first place.
I’ve noticed lately that my GPU fans turn on and my power usage spikes when I turn my monitor off. Only when I turn my monitor off. Weird GPU driver glitch, or have I gotten infected with a very sneaky crypto miner from one of those pirated games…? It’s sus. Very sus.
If it’s windows it’s telemetry or MS Office, try watching network usage and blocking MS processes, they don’t need the constant connection anyway and your PC will run faster. If it’s Linux you might want to check on that and fix it (real shit).

I know it’s more a hypothetical thing, but have you tried monitoring your processes as soon as you turn off your monitor?
