I'll give you no AV/EDR/XDR/Mountain DewDR that'll use up your CPU if you'll grant me no external I/O ports at all on your computer. In fact, I'll throw you a bone -- no input devices on a fresh install and you can have all the output devices you want. And no input means no need to remember passwords!
