If you’re a regular reader of bram.us you might have noticed that I haven’t posted anything here during the past month. In short: I’ve been busy with many (personal) things that needed my attention.

Ever since September 2019 I had this issue with my MacBook Pro where kernel_task would sometimes spike up to > 1000% (!) CPU load and drain my battery – even while connected to a charger. Second time this month kernel_task (with pid 0) decided to go nuts and drain my battery until my macbook shut …
