I now routinely reboot my Mac once in a while after I discovered a “helper” daemon from Zoom desperately pinging its mothership one year after uninstallation.

You should be doing that for security updates.

I shut down my work machine at the end of the day if it has written to the swap space; else I just close the lid.

I always shut it down on Friday evenings though.
