Heat-producing chips in space spark tech jab
Original: @ verge Was its first message "Wow, I don't know who thought putting heat producing # chips in # space was a good idea,
A pointed joke circulating online asks who thought it was a good idea to put heat-generating chips in space, quipping that things are 'getting really hot up there'. The remark, directed at tech outlet The Verge, riffs on the thermal challenges of running semiconductor hardware in orbit, where dissipating heat is far harder than on Earth.
Why now: Amusement and skepticism about satellites or spacecraft carrying heat-generating computer chips
