     Yes, a few hours (two?) in the *past*, on older hardware ('small' RAM,   
   no SSD), but most of that was *online* time, i.e. the system was still   
   up, but 'just' busy'. But a quick perusal of the video transcript, talks   
   about 7 hours of *offline* time (i.e. restarting/rebooting). *If* that   
   ever happened on a modern, sufficiently specced system, then something   
   was seriously wrong and that's by no means typical. Trying to spread it   
   as typical/common is just FUD, click-bait, etc..
