nice feature, tested a couple of times.

But as soon as i loaded the new modules and got a few readings before these my screen dimmed down a bit and i wondered why my comp behaved just like unplugging the power, so i checked it and it was burning hot. i had it unplugged for a minute or so and is now plugged in again and i have no problems for the last 10 minutes, i have not checked how hot it was before (new comp) and i don't see what tpctl should have done for this to happen, but just wanted to let you know just in case.
