nosleep.js brings firefox from ~3% cpu usage to ~25-30% cpu usage. (it's playing an invisible video)

that's a pretty steep cost to pay to simply keep a computer awake because the browser it's using doesn't support a 'stay-awake api'.

Or rather because the OS you're using doesn't think you're responsible enough to have that kind of control over your own computer.

edit: Ah, I misunderstood. This is for your highly locked down work computer.

Indeed, how awful.
