HP tied thermal shutdown to Windows, meaning it doesn't work on Linux. (imgur.com)

My HP All-In-One 20-c081nt has the processor Intel Core i3-6100U, which is supposed to not run hotter than 100C. On Windows if 100C is reached, the screen will fade out and PC will immediately shutdown. A warning will be shown at next boot. On Linux, seen in the video, the PC will simply keep running as if nothing has happened and show the thermal shutdown warning after a graceful reboot.

Did y'all sleep through the HP printer enshittification? No one should buy HP ever.

We use HP laptops at work, feels like a huge step down from the Dell machines we used at my old job.

BTW: I absolutely agree with your nickname.

Raspberry is the best berry. I even have some distilled alcohol msde from Raspberries, gives an amazing raspberry aftertaste when mixed with sprite

I absolutely need to get my hands on a properly made https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cranachan one of these days - since you appear to enjoy alcohol as well, that may also be for you. If nothing else, I need to go to Scotland to try that :)

Looks fantastic!

I'll give it ago when I am in Scotland the next time!

Here in Sweden we have a government alcohol monopoly, it's fantastic, I can order just about anything feom all over the world and have it available at my closest Systembolag.

That is how I ended up with several different raspberry liqueuers and three different raspberry distilates...

I hardly ever drink alcohol during summer as I get too hot when trying to sleep.

I hate the elite book I have from work. I had a Lenovo X1 carbon at my prior job so this was a real downgrade

I have an Elitebook it’s quite a few years old now though. I love it! But it’s only a testing machine not my main system. Also have a ProBook. Those units are amazingly easy to service and upgrade. I was shocked honestly the first time I saw it. Like, damn this is NOT made to extort service fees.

I have an EliteBook as well, at my last job everyone had desktops as their main machine and a laptop if the needed to travel.

Blackberries, my friends!

I am sad to say that they are way down on my list, but that means then you get more for yourself
