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.

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.
