I just did this. My options were:

1. Buy a new Lenovo laptop.

2. Buy a new Apple laptop.

I went for 2 and paid for Little Snitch and it is literally dead and works flawlessly.

Once my family’s windows 10 laptops are off (even if they’re doing nothing but charging them with lid open), my home network is silent.

quiet except for a few microsoft addresses when you run a spotlight command searching your own apple brand hard disk.

Since they have Little Snitch, that network request will never go out.

Didn't know about this though -- thanks. Guess I should be getting a copy of Little Snitch myself, heh

Also I disable spotlight - saves battery plus I know here I left all my shit :)
