Today's "wow the software industry's really bad at it's job isn't it?" moment:
I have a chromebook "sofa laptop" specifically for non-serious use. It's an over-specced 16GB RAM Google thing. Yet it progressively becomes slower and slower the longer it runs until it becomes unusable, I reboot and everything is fine again
So, a memory leak, right? But where?
Well, thing is, I pretty much ignore notifications on the device but never bothered to turn them off
(You can see where this is going.)
