Absolutely. That’s why race to idle is a thing. As soon as the CPU is fed cycles it races to complete the task as quickly as possible. When the program first launches and starts monitoring the only thing it knows is that it was just doing something. It hasn’t had a change to not do something. It’s now completed its race and now it’s able to relax for a second and idle.
At work we have these phones that sit plugged in all day and run stuff. I got tired of having 6 phones scattered on my desk and wanted to organize them. So I designed and printed this little tower for them.
Each level is stackable so you can make it as tall as you want. The phones sit in little trays that make it easy for them to slide in and out. And on the side there’s fans to blow air over the phones and keep them cool. I recently added air filters but apparently I didn’t take any pictures of it yet.
