With no infomation and no email, wouldn’t they quickly tire of your computer and leave it alone?

I doubt that you are often targeted as an individual. A particularly important institution would be consciously targeted but for the rest of us it is catch as catch can.

I was referring to the reputed practice of hackers/scammers using ‘zombie’ computers for their nefarious deeds.

They certainly can’t get much of any importance off my computers, including my banking ids since I’m chronically broke. ;-)
