As was promised....
You smile at your work. With a satisfied nod, you strip down and go to sleep. When you awaken, you decide to put its abilities to the test. You dress, then code up a physics simulator, highly complex but based simply on accounting for all factors as they should be accounted for down to a very small scale. This is not just a collision simulator; this is an entire miniature world. Well, most of one. You've been working on it for several hours and it's still only about a third done. In the future, though, it can be used to test Killbots you don't have the parts for and refine their designs before you build them. Excellent. Even your beast of a computer runs a bit slow when you introduce too much information now, but your custom-tooled OS is much more resistant to crashes than mainstream ones. To make sure it stays that way, you spend a few seconds coding up a program that will run in the background, intercepting anything that attempts to intrude, checking for corruption any time data is altered, and packet sniffing (though that's still to-be-tested, since you don't have a wireless hub yet).
As you decide whether to continue or do something else - you notice that it's early evening, so you probably worked so long on- yep, checking the day on your laptop's calendar makes it quite clear that your INSPIRATION caused you to work so many solid hours that you fell asleep at night after having been awake for 36 hours, meaning this morning you woke up in an actual morning. You've been hard at work for most of the day since, and... uurfgh. You also notice you're quite hungry and thirsty. You've been neglecting yourself for your work. That won't do.
Computer now has custom defenses against several problems.
You have a 1/3-finished physics supersimulator
