When I was a teenager my friend would throw his laptop into the freezer for a few minutes every hour when we were playing games. He probably threw it in there hundreds of times, and it worked fine for years.


A friend had an overheating laptop that even an external cooler couldn’t keep up with so he got to sit right next to the open door in winter.

We called it the Frozen Throne.


I don't know why but this reminds me of how we picture-framed my friend's old Wifi chip after replacing it, because that chip failing all the time was basically the core feature of our group's gaming sessions.
