re: #367 Sherlock Hound

Did it ever occur to them that CPU cycles spent being botty represent energy taken away from tasks that need to be done, as well as literal energy for battery-operated devices?

They are mostly pretty intelligent, so yes. The problem is making it a concern. Most IoT devices are so low power and single tasked that they have tons more compute HP than needed, and use very little battery. E.G. the DVR’s and Cameras doing their bot dances are still performing their regular jobs well.
