It's beginning to look like the problem is not what the autopilot can not do, but what it decides to do.

I can view full-HD video without the fan even making a sigh, but joining a Zoom meeting and turning off everything except incoming audio makes the fan scream.

What's going on? Is that app doing crypto-mining in the background?
