Between Zoom (not the whole time, but just by having it in the background), Slack and Crowdstrike's Falcon agent, I usually can't make more than 5 or 6 hours away of a wall outlet with my MacBook Pro M2 Max...

I hate corporate software.

Oh, wow. That's a pity. I mean, you're down to the battery time of any random x86 laptop.

I usually get barely a working day out of my corporate MacBook Pro M1 with Corpo Security Special Sauce, CLion and Teams. But I have to kill CLion when it gets too crazy (i.e. often). Do you have any insights from Activity Monitor on who is draining the battery?

My biggest offenders: - Symantec Data Loss Prevention Agent (x86 Emulation) - $Corporation App Store (I never use it, don't know why it burns CPU time)

This corporate "security" software is the essence of everything that's wrong with a corporation.

If I check the "Last 12 hours app energy use" from my Activity Monitor it's usually Firefox, Zoom, Slack and PyCharm.

But that only shows "Apps", not processes. If I list all processes, the one that's almost always in the top is Crowdstrike Falcon. Specially when there's disk access, as it seems to intercept everything...
