From TFA:
"And it’s not just servers. With about 8 billion transistors on a single die, a mobile phone can get so hot it might need to spend a few minutes in a refrigerator. When that happens, the apps will fail to function correctly."
Such a weird way to phrase this! All I can think is ".. and it's hard to use your phone when it's in the fridge"?
- p1necone 4y agoI have one of those magnetic phone holders that attach to the aircon vents in your car. Every time I use it with the air con on in the summer I think about how my phone could probably use the extra cooling for a performance boost, except it's not really needed just for running google maps. And then when I do the same thing in the winter I have to be careful about turning the heater on because the hot air will make my phone auto shut down from the heat.
