People from the "hotter" regions, how do you deal with the heat? (lemm.ee)

I am from Eastern Europe and this is the hottest summer on my memory. For at least 3 consecutive years the heat is breaking all records.

This stuff is unbearable, I can't even play video games on my laptop, because it warms up very fast and the keyboard becomes uncomfortable for me to use.

So, could you please share any useful tips on how do you survive the summer?

AZ here, Get a cheap low power desktop for work shit, it will heat up less and you'll be able to ventilate it better.

Otherwise, a/c, thermal curtains, insulated reflector layer in front of that, make sure your weather seals on your doors are good. Drink water all the time, carry water with you all the time. Good luck with all the heatwaves and welcome to the club.

Thank you for the all the advices but my laptop is already the "low power" option. The other one is a desktop, which produces way more heat. Although still less than most modern "gaming stations"

The club, is sadly, not the one I would like to be in. I have always been a fan of winter but it seems like with each year it's going to be harder to enjoy it

You can do a suprising amount of stuff on a raspberry pi, they also run ARM meaning they heat up less than a desktop CPU
