- __david__ 14y agoYes it should. Blaming the OS is like blaming a userspace program for a kernel panic.
- tedunangst 14y agoIn the brave new world of ACPI, the OS tells the firmware "I'll take care of that, trust me, I know what I'm doing". Your computer starts with fans at full speed for this reason, but once the OS assumes control, it's in control.
