 Firmware Q2B85.

 On my B1 machine, the ambient temperature is always 0 degrees Celsius and
 on my B2 machine the ambient temperature is always between 49 and 50
 degrees. This is independent of how hot the machine really is. The
 displayed temperature is the same directly after switching the machine on
 and after an hour of full load.

 I have the suspicion that the ambient temperature depends on some battery
 intrinsics (my B1 has no battery at the moment). However, reaching 50
 degrees in 20 seconds after putting in the battery and powering up seems
 completely impossible to me. Especially because I'm in a room with 20
 degrees Celsius.
