So apparently my NVME drive can go up to 65261.8°C (maybe it was designed for a solar probe mission that's going to go *inside* the sun)

Oh I get it now:

2^16-1 K = 65535 K = (65535 - 273.15)°C = 65261.8°C (Kelvin by far is the best temperature unit)

Also, -273.1°C sounds pretty scary too considering it's 0.05°C above absolute zero... (it's so cold that helium is liquid at this temperatue and also a superfluid!)

@ta180m that’s pretty much exactly 65535K, which is weird that they would store the fractional part separately

@ta180m I Think a range of 6553.5K is acceptable here

@ta180m At least it can't be lower than the absolute zero! That would be something 😆

@ta180m oh wow, at least it should be durable enough to withstand these temperatures

in my case tho, laptop thinks that it's a drone of some sort and constantly spinning some invisible fan at 65krpm. doesn't help with cooling that much tho :blobfoxsad:
