HP tied thermal shutdown to Windows, meaning it doesn't work on Linux. - eviltoast

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’m not particularly surprised.

    I’ve had a hp laptop provided by work before. There were DVI ports on the laptop and fucking station. I’m Windows, the ports on the laptop were disabled when plugged into the docking station. I presumed they were hard wired over to the dock

    On Linux, all the ports worked just fine and I could hook up every port on the laptop and dock just fine

        With rebots and Ai, it may happen. I already imagine the article title : “these are the big tech companies that provide a fucking station to their employees after research shows it increased productivity by up to 70%”
