I don't know if other operating systems do this but Apple has a feature where you can have it tell you how much time to spent on your device(s) in the previous week.
I get my updates on Sunday morning and am usually quite chagrined at how much time I'm spending on my laptop/phone.
But yesterday, the notification told me that my screen time last week was "up" and that my screen time last week had been 24 hours each day.
Which? Um... no.
I mean yes, I feel I am on my devices too much, but I am absolutely not on them 24 hours a day! I mean...no. It was quite a funny surprise to see actually because it then made me realize that the screen time notifications I've been receiving may not be as accurate as I assumed.
Which made me wonder what is maybe running in the background convincing my laptop it's being used when it's not.
I don't shut my laptop (my last laptop had issues after a few years because of being open and shut so I'm a little paranoid about it and just either let it or put it to sleep when I'm not using it) when I'm done with it and this must be allowing something to run in the background.
I did just poke around in "Screen Time" and the numbers I'm getting from the browser I use are actually more hours of "usage" than there are literal hours in a day so yeah something's fucky.
I don't love closing my browser completely as it then forces me to re sign in to ALLLL the things so I'll maybe take a look and see if I can find a fix for that but yeah, I promise I'm not on my laptop or phone 24/7, you know? Heh. (And no I don't sleep with any devices so it's not that either. Everybody stays in the other room when I go to bed.)
