Just checked, I have 6.5GB of memory leak, only running Little Snitch for two days. Ouch!

Yeah, I stopped using it because of that.

Damn if only they told us yesterday before I restarted for the first time in a month. I wonder how big my memory leak would have been. I have only been online for about 11 hours (~9 of those were in hibernation) now and already at a 13MB leak.

I’ve been restarting my MacBook weekly for 2 years now. It’s way more than I’ve done this with Windows.

I reported that to them and at least based on the interaction they have no idea for last few months. I just have to restart them or the whole MacBook Air from time to time. I suspect it is not their issue lately as I saw others have this issues. Well … now I know. Or may be I just guess.
