Is it?
My experience with Arc (which I would assume would be heavier than Chrome) has been that it adds a lot of scary entries in the Resource Monitor App, but doesn't impact my day-to-day use on my 16 Gb M1 MBP.
With Safari, on the other hand, I've experienced audio stutter and delays when using resource intensive wep-apps like YouTube, Figma, Netflix and others.

Wikipedia [1] has a problem statement that I find explains the game quite simply:
> the busy beaver game aims at finding a terminating program of a given size that produces the most output possible.
The Busy Beaver Challenge website [2] also has an explainer page with interactive Turing Machines.

I understand where Level is coming from with this response, but cybersecurity has taught us better.
Yes, less than 10% of attacks use this exploit, but now that it’s public that you’re vulnerable to it, you become a target for 100% of attacks involving this exploit.
So for instance, if the delivery address of Level customers leak (and given the security of their physical locks, I would say them having bad cyber-security practices is not something too far-fetched), a malicious attacker would essentially have a database of home addresses with users that have bought a $300 locker that he can break into with the help of any YouTube tutorial

It does, just hold the buttons you would hold to turn the phone off, not the button you would use to trigger Siri.
On FaceID phones that means holding both the Lock and Volume Up buttons.

On iOS, just hold the button you would use to turn the phone off, but hold longer, it will loudly count down to 0 and call emergency services. You can also press the side button 5 times and it will call without you having to hold the button pressed. Works on iPhone and Apple Watch.

Maybe, I don’t know, but it doesn’t mean we should just give up on protecting our data everywhere else.
A GPS or Bluetooth signal would be far more precise as a mass surveillance tool, so let’s not give that up

But the point is that Apple Maps also has the commute suggestions without the privacy cost

Because it advertises a shorter time to arrival?
This has been an issue with Google Maps for some time: being more optimistic than e.g. Apple Maps just so you use the service, as suggested by this article: https://arturgrabow.ski/2018/02/19/navigation-apps/
