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?

There's apparently *one* company that makes replacement stick-on thermal sensors (that I guess OWC and iFixit buy from), and they're charging $40 for an ATtiny. Just no. (There are also conflicting stories about how necessary this is, so I'll find out)

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.

Replying to @yacoob
The parts that matter anyway (iFixit already covered the basics well)
