I'm pretty sure this is exactly what is happening in real life. I pressed F12 damnit! Go into the bios already!!
Some friendly tips from post-silicon validation: sudo systemctl reboot --firmware shutdown /r /t 0 /fw These reboot directly into BIOS. For Windows CMD+R menu, run it by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+Enter (elevates to admin). You may have to do it twice for some unknown reasons after reinstalling the OS.

So that's why the Matrix needed humans to power their systems!
The original idea of the Matrix was for the humans to be processors, but they changed it because they thought people wouldn’t understand that.
Fabulous concept, but personally I did not find very fun actually playing.
A lot of these puzzle/micromanagement games are very similar to stuff folks do for work. I stopped playing an entire category of puzzle games once I realized it was basically programming, which I do all day for a living anyway. Gamified programming is still programming.
This was fun to play...for about 2 minutes before all the manual work of moving processes around got very tedious, which may be the point of the game. What I would like is a little code edit window where i could code simple routines to handle the scheduling, then be able to watch the result.
This is why we must daily thank the elves inside our machines. It's tough work!
Fun fact: operating systems were originally programs intended to replace most of the work of a human job description, that of computer operator.
The marketing and management of IT always had this fixation with replacing people. It always has been the wrong answer and the real value always came from making people better.

Pretty cool, I would love to see a version where you code the tasks instead of madly click on stuff.

That's what bugged me about the old MS Flight Sim games. It felt like the actual job.
But even games that seem like just a job can be fun. Euro Truck simulator is fun because you are entirely self directed. Each job produces tangible results and you feel yourself progressing in a clear way that you often do not feel in a real job.
