By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer created HeatLens, a desktop widget that converts PC power draw into room heat metrics like BTU/hr and session heat. It pulls data from LibreHardwareMonitor, nvidia-smi, and Linux RAPL, offering trend graphs and CFM estimates. The open-source tool is available on GitHub for Windows, Linux, and macOS.
