Apple releases firmware fix for heat-related throttling issue with newest MacBook Pros

If it shifts the screen to bluer colors, orders cold drinks for the user, invites others over and/or initiates calls with interesting people to distract the user from the computer and reduce usage, plus uses IoT to reduce room temperature by controlling the thermostat, I could see it plausibly fixing some onboard thermodynamic problems. Even just sending snaps a stream from the built-in-camera to the user’s boss/clients could easily lead to firing and a dramatic reduction in the workload and therefore thermal load to manage.
