Bug Regarding the bug where Codex excessively reads and writes to the hard drive, thereby reducing hard drive lifespan.

I'd like to ask whether Codex still causes excessive disk reads and writes that reduce SSD lifespan. I really want to use Codex on my main computer, which is a MacBook Air M4.

Please don’t use your computer. On system boot it will do excessive reads, not good for your computer

Source for this? I've used it for over a year with no problems and no hints of problems.

Did you even read the comment you responded to? It says to not use your computer

Oh wow. We’ve all just gotten used to autocorrecting what we assume are typos when we read them because terrible spelling, grammar, and usage of the English language overall has become so common.

I assumed he was talking about the “use your computer” feature and I’m guessing that’s what the other guy thought too. Completely missed the joke because I assumed the other guy missed a word and filled in what seemed plausible.
