It doesn't seem to be my finger heating it up; it hurts after half a second or so, and I don't think that the human body temperature is enough to hurt the human body, generally speaking ;). Anyway, do you know how I can access it? I have a few packages that should be able to read built-in temperature sensors, but none of them are able to locate it automatically and I have no idea what to give it for 'Sensor location'. I don't see anything mounted in /dev/ that could be helpful and I don't know enough about Linux to know where else it could be. What is the 'location' that I need to access it?
