    This video from Louis Rossmann is worth watching, but it does contain some swearing.
    This new Macbook is becoming a meme.

    How do you fix hardware with an MacOS update? Anyway:
    Stable at 100°C I assume. If the test they made before was heating it to 88°C, now with more performance it will certainly come close to 100.

    Sure, but 100°C isn't that bad for a high-performance CPU under heavy load. Is it?

    I mean, it'd be better for the CPU if the Macbook had a fan and stuff. But then, it wouldn't be a Macbook ;)
