Question raised over heat-producing chips in space

A pointed question is circulating about the wisdom of placing heat-generating chips in space, asking rhetorically who thought it was a good idea given how hot conditions are getting. The remark is directed at The Verge and touches on the thermal challenges satellites and other space hardware face, since vacuum makes dissipating heat from electronics far harder than on Earth.
Why now: Growing attention to thermal management problems in satellites and space electronics
