Chances are that Santa brought you or someone near you a shiny new phone, making your old model seem worthless once you've moved off all the data to your brand new handset. But that old phone can find new life with a new task — turn it into a remote system monitor that lets you peer inside a Windows computer to see that machine's vital stats.
I have an ulterior motive here. My computer’s balky fan whines then goes silent as the system’s temperature rises and gets out of control. I tried monitoring the fan speed and temperature in the system’s BIOS pages, but it doesn’t work while the computer’s in use nor does it show two parameters at once.
