A simple fan control program. Read temperatures, check them against configured limits and switch to appropriate (also pre-configured) fan level. Requires a working thinkpad_acpi or any other hwmon driver that enables temperature reading and fan control from userspace.

Features

  • per-sensor temperature limits
  • arbitrary strings as fan level (supports "disengaged" and "auto" modes on thinkpads)
  • some sanity checks (cough)
  • DANGEROUS mode which allows you to destroy your hardware
  • ability to destroy your hardware even without dangerous mode if you try hard enough

The Secure Workspace for Remote Work

Venn isolates and protects work from any personal use on the same computer, whether BYO or company issued.

Venn is a secure workspace for remote work that isolates and protects work from any personal use on the same computer. Work lives in a secure local enclave that is company controlled, where all data is encrypted and access is managed. Within the enclave – visually indicated by the Blue Border around these applications – business activity is walled off from anything that happens on the personal side. As a result, work and personal uses can now safely coexist on the same computer.
