Maybe Bill wants to do a topic like this one on hackaday:

It's basically about a misunderstanding on the effects of heat and aging. A
lot of hobbyists are interested in finding ways to prolong the life of

argues that the failure isn't poor design or heat, but the shock of turning
on a chip that breaks it .
