Jason Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 It’s getting too hot to play the Steam Deck or Switch outside, makers warn ARSTECHNICA.COM Nintendo, Valve say not to use their products above 35° C (95° F). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 95°F is the top operating temperature for most user electronics. The M1 and M2 MacBook Air and Pro laptops are rated for use in temps up to 95°F. The PlayStation Vita was also rated up to 95°F. All iPhone 13 variants are rated for up to 95°F. If you want something that's guaranteed to work in 100+ temps, get a Toughbook from Panasonic. Most models are rated up to around 120°F.

Oh yeah, don't ever buy one unless you absolutely need to. We sent them off to military clients in, like, Afghanistan. Nobody else needs a Tough Book. I was just making a point that nothing outside of specialized electronics like a Toughbook is rated to work in 100+ weather. They also usually aren't rated to work in freezing temps either.

Things drove me fucking nuts. I outsource that grunt work. Find yourself a good e-waste recycler and then never let them go. The guys I've been working with, I've known for 11, 12 years. Back when their CEO was part of a 3 man crew and now they manage trucks picking up e-waste from Maine down to New Jersey. Last pile of Toughbook I needed decommissioning, I just left with them. I did get some calls about how much of a pain I'm the ass they were to tear down since they needed to pull the drives and shred them separately. I'm so sorry if you actually work/ed at ones of those e-waste facilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even complain when I told them to SHRED huge ass robots designed for moving around nuclear waste at Fukushima. That was, apparently, fun. Pulling drives out of a pallet of Toughbooks? "Why? I thought we were friends." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_m_b_m_b_m Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Man there was a whole ass team at the energy company I used to work at to service and keep up toughbooks, I wasn’t involved in that group but when they talked about it I thought it was just the name of some dumb custom corporate thing but TIL it’s an actual product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
