SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the cooling mechanisms employed in the iPhone 17, specifically the use of vapor cooling technology akin to heat pipes. Participants explore the implications of processor heat generation and the effectiveness of active versus passive cooling solutions. The conversation highlights the challenges of maintaining optimal chip temperatures under high-performance conditions, emphasizing the importance of user experience and potential product failures due to overheating. Additionally, the discussion touches on the possibility of throttling processor speeds to mitigate heat dissipation.

I Googled it and could not find a simplified distro.
It boils down to the amount of money it could make and how you'd advertise it successfully. There are many 'gadgets' on the market that do specialised jobs badly. You can read the ads in newspapers and mags and they look inadequate because of their obvious limitations.

But it's a cleft stick; the big software like Zoom and the Microsoft suite probably manage to annoy most people because all the bells and whistles get in the way of use and enjoyment. But the big money is there and these guys tell you that you need their exciting new features. I remember how creative one could be with early Powerpoint; it can't be done these days. What chance does Uncle Fred have, when he's just getting used to a package he bought with his (only ever) computer? He just doesn't count and it's up to his loving nephew to help him along with the latest thing.

I know this is even more off-topic but have you ever noticed how many tradesmen run all of their IT needs on a smart phone. Big deals (£n00k) are negotiated by Text messages. A couple of guys won't converse with me by email at all. Back-up? What back-up?
