My laptop was at 500% of course usage and ram... Wtf...

Had to stay till 1am because I was debugging a microservice system with 15 services, 3 databases and a full mail server. Freaking integration tests took all night to build and run. Don't have a remote server to run this on because the guy is sick. Arghhhhhh

    I'm sure if it was Windows it would crash before 99%.

    I'm pretty sure you have no clue about how different OS types measure CPU usage.
    On BSD and Linux, 100% is one core, 200% is two cores, ...
    On Windows, the percentage is relative to how many cores you have, so 100% = n cores, 25% = n/4 cores in use.

    Am I the only that doesn't bother using these things on windows or Mac and just go with a Linuxserver vm?

    @kescherRant I was under the impression it was demand on the CPU, so 200% would be 100% on a CPU with twice the cores or twice the clock speed... I guess I really am just the stupidest shithead here, huh? That makes way more sense.

    @Parzi Yes, technically that would be more correct. Malfunctioning hardware might give you multiple times your actual usage. (had a device with 4 cores show 1500% with huge lags because its mainboard was dying)
