Final update with the job: despite me changing my settings, my device still could not pass the test (hexbear.net)

Yep... to be clear, the test is a load test. It consists of a bunch of people being in a Google Meet call, and I have to share my screen and play four 1080p YouTube videos at once as there are 9 other people in the call to put a lot of pressure on my processor.

Unfortunately, in the process, my CPU has a utilization of around 90% for the most part, and they say, for that reason, it didn't pass the test.

For this reason, I'll have to move on from trying with this job, but at least I got this far.

Based on what I can find online it should be faster. It's a 2018 13" MBP that I got from work. They don't officially support windows 11, and the Mac OS won't be getting security updates soon. IDK if that'll be an issue. Hacking 11 onto it shouldn't be hard.

I'll have to see if I can find it first (I'm moving soon so it's packed away), and I don't have a charger that I can give you. But if you're in the US you can have it.

Unfortunately, they require Macs to be from 2020 or newer.

That's lame. Think if you put windows on it and told em it's a pc they'd be any wiser?

I can't be too sure! If it's possible for me to get the Mac within 30 days, I could try, as that's the timeframe they gave me.

Good news and bad news.

Good news: I found it.

Bad news: within 10 minutes of it being on it's kernel paniced twice.

I'm going to assume this computer is broken. Sorry for getting your hopes up. If I can figure out what's wrong and fix it then I'll let you know. But my hands haven't been working so well lately so disassembling a MacBook is not something I want to do for fun.

Wow it crashed a 3rd time just while I was typing this out. This thing might be really broken.

Dayum.

I appreciate you for looking.

I got quite a few interviews lined up next week already, and I'm really just going to give those my all... as I have been doing with every other one.

I doubt something will come of this, but I'd love to see it.
