Meanwhile, an upgraded 2015 Retina 27" iMac might become my main computing device (because a friend is getting rid of one), and if so, I've decided I'm sorting out the HDD temperature sensor nonsense, because apparently nobody has reversed that yet?

Why the iMac? Well after a CPU upgrade it should be a ~40% CPU perf boost over my current main laptop, which I'll keep as a side device anyway, plus NVMe storage, and I wanted a ~4K screen anyway, and I no longer consider my main box being a laptop a requirement.

My original plan was to wait until AMD laptops with USB4/TB come out, but that's taking forever, and this will be overall cheaper anyway. And hey, although I'll put Linux on it, having OSX be an option might come in handy.

Now that would be very interesting. I've recently been given a 21.5" iMac (alas can't support the i7), and the idea of an SSD to speed things up got postponed because of the thermal sensor. I did think of buying one and then reversing it, but then got distracted by other things.

Oh... after a quick google it appears the 2015's Apple non-standardizm is different to the 2010's Apple non-standardizm! Honestly, they must do this to p*ss us off on purpose!
