I glanced through the manual linked in answers elsewhere. The Apple manual is very detailed and lays out the risks you could potentially get into - and thats a good thing. At this point, iFixit criticism looks more like a rant. FWIW, Apple

AFAICT, homeostatic temperature in humans does not vary by a great deal. It is 37±1°C always. I haven't come across a study where any large deviation was stated. Human bodies lose heat very quickly. We evolved from a primate line which

If the hypothesis that going below 22C would activate brown fat burning & starving the tumor subsequently in due process, hold - this should have some evidence in people living in very cold climates (e.g. Siberians, Eskimos etc). I don&

Memory exploits in Rust : Yes much less. That's where the world is (hopefully) headed to. But then a lot of people would disagree on "Lets jump on the <new-hot-language> bandwagon ASAP". Even the transition to parts of
