And it's not like 4g hotspots and old cell phones don't overheat either.

Yes, my iPhone went into thermal shutdown sitting by the pool on a 90 degree day but I don’t see a hacker news discussion on it…

Your iphones primary environment isn't outside under the sun for half of every day of the year though either.

I have yet to see cellphone towers shut down because the summer is too hot.

You should work in network operation. I have seen BS go down for so many reasons…..

Heh. But whatever it was, the impact on the end user was low. When I lived in Miami there would be cellphone trouble on weekend nights, never in the midday heat!

I have yet to hear about the starlink spacecraft going into thermal shutdown in Arizona.

You get an actual 4g router, not a phone, and they actually worknwell
