Phones don't handle heat well. I was outdoors the other day trying to take pictures while it was 90-something, and my phone had to cool off in between shots before it would let me use it again.
In fairness, old digital cameras kinda did the same too
One time It was 35° out and my phone got so hot I had to dip it in water
One time I went to Tim Horton's, and I ate the bowl.
The EU countries should pass some laws and regulations that they think would address climate change. I know they are not the biggest polluting nations in the world, but they can't expect anyone else to do something they have not done themselves, and Europeans can no longer wait for others to change.
We're doing a lot more than the US.
Someone has never lived in the EU.
Are you serious?!
Meanwhile the Americans drive around their massive trucks, live with constant central AC etc.
They've been trying for 30 years... problem is that none of the member states are actually listening so it's a constant back and forth of "but can you pleaaaaaase start doing it now?" "maybe we'll consider in another 10 years"
I can excuse killing humans, but killing phones is where I draw the line. Down with climate change!1!!
I think these news are overblown. There are many countries where temperatures of 115F are normal every summer, and people’s phones keep working normally.
