Mac: System Preferences / Dock, then for minimizing applications, change that super-swish Genie effect to a utilitarian Scale effect (basically just disappearing). Uncheck “Animate Opening Applications”. Sometimes the problem is not internal but external - is the back of your CPU casing matted over with dust? This can prevent ventilation which cools the processors as they whir away in an attempt to run Photoshop, Spotify, Outlook, and Skype. And nobody wants a hot computer - heat increases the likelihood of malfunctions and crashes. As for laptops, any time you notice your laptop heating up, you should check that its vents, usually on the sides, aren't blocked. For example, don't put your laptop on something soft like a pillow where it can sink in. Dust off the ol', um, dust. If it's really severe, you can use a vacuum cleaner (carefully) or a canister of compressed air. If you've deep-cleaned your computer and modified your browser tab habit, but your computer is still slow (and you own a PC), you might want to consider a minor upgrade in the form of additional RAM.
This poses severe problems for law enforcement since previously local or even national crimes now require international cooperation. For example, if a person accesses child pornography located on a computer in a country that does not ban child pornography, is that individual committing a crime in a nation where such materials are illegal? Where exactly does cybercrime take place? Cyberspace is simply a richer version of the space where a telephone conversation takes place, somewhere between the two people having the conversation. As a planet-spanning network, the Internet offers criminals multiple hiding places in the real world as well as in the network itself. However, just as individuals walking on the ground leave marks that a skilled tracker can follow, cybercriminals leave clues as to their identity and location, despite their best efforts to cover their tracks. In order to follow such clues across national boundaries, though, international cybercrime treaties must be ratified.
The following are my spare time software projects, and are open source with no warranty - use at your own risk. Some are computer security tools, which may be illegal to own or run in your country if they are misidentified as cracking tools. I've also developed software as a professional kernel engineer, which isn't listed below (e.g., the ZFS L2ARC). BPF Tools using Linux eBPF and the bcc front end for advanced observability and tracing tools. BPF compiler collection, for which I'm a major contributor, especially for performance tools. BPF tracing language, for which I'm a major contributor. Linux profiler. Page including one-liners and flame graphs. Examples for the lua-based Linux dynamic tracing tool, including one liners and tools (no longer maintained). DTrace Tools for FreeBSD. DTrace book scripts from the DTrace book, which demonstrates many new uses of dynamic tracing. DTraceToolkit a collection of over 200 scripts, with man pages and example files (no longer maintained).
