How to prevent a Garmin GPS from overheating

Garmin DriveSmart 65 GPS navigator

Above is the Garmin DriveSmart 65, which is still a popular model at the time I write this. I use a 66 model personally, but the 65 is still really nice. People like the 7" screen (technically 6.95"), love the legibility as it's really easy to read, love the screen brightness, the voice control, the traffic reporting, and so on...

...but WOW, are people ridiculously stupid when it comes to the operation and care of this thing because they keep burning them up.

I'm going to list off the stupid things people do with this that cause overheating and how to prevent it from ever happening.

i quit energy drinks

Nobody my age should be drinking this stuff.

My energy drink of choice was Monster Lo-Carb. I liked the taste, and it is truly low on Calories at under 50 per can.

I started drinking Lo-Carb years ago in my 30s and didn't stop until recently because I finally found a substitute that actually works for me.

Weirdest 2024 Fender Stratocaster guitar color

image

Oh, do you have to pay a pretty penny just to get this.

Above is the Fender 70th Anniversary Ultra Stratocaster HSS. It's expensive, and it only comes in one color. That color is called Amethyst.

Actual amethyst is quartz with a violet color to it. And yeah, I think Fender did translate that to a finish fairly well. The color does "move" as far as I can tell and definitely looks like something upscale. And yes, this is the kind of finish that does change color depending on how you look at it.

Is this guitar all about the paint? Of course not, and there's certainly more to it.
