Recently I got a new laptop for work – Lenovo ThinkPad P14s (Gen 2). I prefer running Linux on my working machines, and this one is not an exclusion. While using it I noticed that the fan speed is sometimes too high for no reason creating undesirable noise. Here’s how to control ThinkPad P14s’ fan speed in Linux using a nice tool – thinkfan.

This is the second part of how to customize dependency injection in Spring, and today we’re going to see how to make Spring’s DI respect decorators.
