Max Temperature Apple Mac Machines Can Withstand?
By - Kaustubh Katdare • 1 year ago • 7.6k views
I'm wondering what's the maximum temperatures Mac machines are designed to withstand.
If I keep a few browser tabs open; say about 10 tabs on Google Chrome, and run a few other programs like - email, programming IDE, Spotify, Slack; I notice that the CPU temperature quickly shoots above 55°C.
I checked the official documentation and it says the internal CPU temperature should not exceed 89°C for extended periods of time.
I'm assuming there must be some internal mechanism to prevent CPU burnout or failure. Looking for practical examples of how hot your CPU / GPU gets and when to actually put the computer to sleep.
PS: I currently have 27" iMac Machine (2011) model. It's old one, but it still packs a lot of punch.

I'm considering switching to a mechanical keyboard like NuPhy Air 75 or 96, but wondering if the keys are harder to press.
Been watching a lot of videos on YouTube about how easy and comfortable it is to type on a Mechanical Keyboard.
I'm currently used to typing on Apple Magic Keyboard. If anyone of you have made a switch from Apple Magic Keyboard to Mechanical Keyboard, please let me know your experience. Thank you!
Can an engineer become a doctor? If you got forced into studying engineering and want to go back to your first love - medicine (MBBS), what are your options? Let's discuss.
Yes, an engineer can become a doctor. But it won't be easy. Engineering degrees worldwide are mostly 4-year degree courses and medicine too requires an average of 4-5 years followed by mandatory internship. Not everyone has the patience, money and time to dedicate a decade only to learning.

I was recently asked if a data engineer can become a data science. How difficult is it for data engineers to switch career to data scientist and what type of training is involved. Looking for responses from data engineers and data scientists.
A data engineer can become a machine learning engineer with proper training. Keep in mind that being a data engineer is not a prerequisite for becoming a machine learning engineer.
I find this question very similar to Can data engineer become a data scientist?. Do take a look at that discussion as well.
Data engineering is an emerging field in the big-data domain and there's a growing demand for data engineers.

Can data engineer work from home? Or do they have to be physically present at the work-site to get their data engineering job done? Let me answer this commonly asked question.
A data engineer can definitely work from home. The role of data engineer does not require the engineer to be physically present on-site. Why? because 99% of the data engineering work happens in the cloud. All you'll need is a strong Internet connection and credentials to login to your cloud accounts to build data pipelines.
