I was JUST thinking about this kind of thing.
And I would love to hear from the respondents about "system burden" or possible risks.
If one did a bunch of these "seasonally active" apps, where all you'd have to do is make sure the end device(s) were in place (w/ full battery) at the right time of year and the app would just go about doing what it was set to do with no manual HE system lid lifting:
a) what would the burden difference be on the HE system manually PAUSING vs manually DISABLING that app <--by the way does that matter much which of those one uses) ...or would it even matter for less than 20 such apps to be sitting there waiting for specific date ranges. [Note: Edited from previously worded "STOPPING" vs reworded to read "DISABLING" ]
b) which of the ways to accomplish this are most efficient (Predicate or otherwise), not just coding-wise but resource-wise as per concerns in "a" above.
It might be helpful if you did leave a brief on that here!
Thanks in advance.
