I have become increasingly aware of a phenomenon I've never before encountered
on a Mac. My M4/Sequoia gets exhausted.

This mostly manifests itself in two ways. Firstly. the text cursor disappears.
This makes editing difficult to say the least. Secondly, and rather more
irritatingly, TouchID stops working and I am continually having to renter my
password.

A restart fixeds it - it comes back refreshed and raring to go. Maybe logging
out and in would help just as well, but the M4 is back from a restart in a
minute or so so it hardly seems worth it.

I've no idea whether this arises in MacOS (in which I would expect others to
have observed it) or in one of the applications I mostly use. These are nearly
all Apple except for GraphicConverter, Inkscape and Reunion. A memory leak
somewhere, perhaps? It my, of course, be peculiar to the M4 series of iMac,
which are only about six months old.

Old John.
