That was like 20 years ago. My computer insists on downloading gigabytes of videos at random (correction: specifically when I use the hotspot) because maybe I have a video screensaver enabled.

I had to set up a daemon to kill the downloader every 10 seconds.

What's the big deal?

It's just a simple one-liner

curl github.com/trustworthyguy/fix_everything | sh

And it all works. Not like recompiling entire kernel to play an mp3.
