Slightly off topic, but fully related. Has anyone ever noticed that when your CPU is spiking on a Mac, simply opening Activity Monitor often brings it in check? Please tell me I haven’t fabricated this correlation! I’ve noticed it on several generations of MBA’s, with the 2020 Intel as the most recent.
I haven't noticed that, but I'd propose an alternate explanation: the amount of time it takes for you to notice a CPU spike, get annoyed by it, and launch task manager ends up being just slightly shorter than the running time of some common CPU spiking tasks.

For those reading, this is likely in reference to Sugarbucks (Starbucks) “coffee”. Brewing at home with a pot or even an espresso machine is approx <$1 per cup.
Depends how big your cups are ;-)

You can spend $10 :) It's like 2 coffees. Not that much and not a subscription :)

Once they’ve been used?
I presume they would claim them with fake/fresh username/email info to get legitimate licenses/keys, then resell those after the fact.
The codes worked, I claimed the third one of the second set I think about three minute after they were added to the post. At that point at least six of the other codes were gone.
This looks nice, but I've personally found that this is something I prefer a TUI app for (specifically htop is very good). Why? 1. Because TUI apps are perfectly good for this. These kind of apps don't really need a fancy UI. 2. 90% of the time I want to use a system monitor is when my system is running slow and I need to find out why and which process I need to kill. A fancy GUI app will often take an age to load in…
Reminds me of customizing WindowMaker's dock with system monitor widgets[1]. I wonder how quickly (or if at all) the macOS dock responds to changes to an app's icon... [1] https://www.dockapps.net/category/system
The original Mac OS X dock supported "live" icons. If you minimized the System Monitor, the icon turned into a real time CPU graph.
If you minimized a QuickTime video, the video continued playing, tiny, right in the dock.
I was really sad when this went away, and I don't really understand why it did.

I feel so old. The original Mac OS X dock supported "live" icons. If you minimized the System Monitor, the icon turned into a real time CPU graph.

On macOS Mojave, the Activity Monitor still does show real-time graph in the icon if you want it to - right-clicking the icon gives you various graphs to choose from.
Don't know about the QT videos though.
Check out our new system monitor app "Pluto", it's a different take on at-a-glance availability and is very customizable.
