Man, the one up-side to it being below fucking freezing in my apartment was that I didn't have problems with capsule overheating. I reallly hope this is just the thermistor getting progressively more broken (not unlikely, honestly), because it should not be running 70C with just firefox and so forth. Unless a fan had broken, but they all still seem to be working (I guess I should check the bridge fan; I might not notice if it died).
But honestly I don't think the system would be running smoothly if it were actually getting that hot, so it's probably just bad temperature detection.
Must finish thesis to get new job to get away from reliance on old and busted computer. =\
Of course, I can't throw capsule out. Not without some kind of holy binding ritual. It might go feral.
