oh, the units people use today :)
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoPounds sterling, Britain’s currency.
- nullhole 2y agoI know, thus the smiley :)
- IntelMiner 2y agoHow does the joke go? "Americans will measure with anything to avoid learning the metric system" (I know this is about a British power plant but the tongue in cheek remark still works)
- aeonik 2y agoAmerican units are actually pegged to metric standards, and quite a few people use SI units here and there. I don't see cm overtaking inches anytime soon though. Just the other day, I opened up my fancontrol-gui and saw my CPU temperatures all in the 200⁰F range, I almost vomited in disgust, then thought this is how Europeans must feel. Who uses Fahrenheit for CPU temperature monitoring (legitimate question)? Fahrenheit is still better for daily weather though.
- lazide 2y agoChances are the actual thermal mgmt chip is doing everything in Celsius, and your GUI layer is thoughtfully converting it to Fahrenheit to match your locale settings. You could probably override your local info and get it directly in Celsius if you wanted.
- aeonik 2y agoYou are correct of course, https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui/commit/1667dc46651cf6fee416e01917c8d28344600fab#diff-8415a19b0608492a2a8d7a7bfc23fbf097084c6f7de5b9ebb0770447e2bae807 https://github.com/Maldela/fancontrol-gui/commit/1667dc46651... However, I don't want my locale to reflect all units this way. I might try overriding the locale for this single process, however I it was just easier for me to compile a patched version of the code that was available on the Arch User Repository already. Though I have no idea why the git version defaults to Celsius.
