A python script to heat your computer so that your fingers can work upon your laptop in winter.

heater.py

"""Heater
A program that spawns as much number of processes as there are CPUs on the computer.
This keeps the core temprature high.
I made this so that my fingers feel more comfortable while working on my laptop during winter.
Caution : An eye should be kept on the CPU temprature so that when it is getting too hot, 
the prgoram needs to be killed; else it can damage the CPU.

How do you use it or like turn it on or control it or whatever

@TreWade1469 I execute the python script and when I feel my fingers are warm enough, I kill the process using ctrl + c.

How do you download it, and turn it on?

@TreWade1469 Running a python script is a pretty basic step. (Not that I am assuming anything here).
But, if you don't know how to do that. May I please ask you not to run this script and rather first learn the basics of python first.
There are tons of tutorials/courses available on the internet.
Please go through them first as running this script could be dangerous and kill your device.
I don't want you to mistakenly harm your device.

Ok thanks

@ishan1608
Instead of
process_to_be_not_seen_again = multiprocessing.Process(target=round_robin_count)
process_to_be_not_seen_again.start()
Use:
if __name__ == "__main__":
process_to_be_not_seen_again = multiprocessing.Process(target=round_robin_count)
process_to_be_not_seen_again.start()

@Speed3k-python That piece of code is already inside the if __name__ == "__main__": block.
What would adding another redundant condition do?

This is for the ants in my laptop!

🤣 Never thought of this use case.
