I think any modern PC or smartphone CPU has at the very least an overheat sensor, which will throttle down the frequency rather than burn itself out (as some 90s CPUs, especially AMD, were wont to do).

There are apps that can show them, but e.g. I assure you it is not currently 90⁰F in my house, let alone 106.

Also the phones themselves put off rather a lot of heat.

Oh, you're working in the literal auto shop again; I was afraid for a moment that something had gone wrong and you personally had to go back to the metaphorical shop.

The borough would be Hudson County, tho.

An Attorney General isn't a judge, it's the weird US term for the Minister of Justice. (It's directly elected in most US states, because the US is weird and likes that sort of thing, but this is going to be a political position basically everywhere.)
