Heat is a killer for all things electronic, non more so than a laptop. Recently, Australia has hit a heat wave where it’s been over 35 degrees C for several consecutive days peaking at about 39 degs.
Inside the house without AC, the temperature is around 30 degs. Combining this with ClickUp which recently has a few memory leaks and causes the Chrome CPU to max out at >100% I’ve seen my CPU go crazy!
The heat just adds to the problem causing thermal runaway.
