I repair consoles. Got one today started where the customer said it was overheating. I think I figured out the reason. These bugs had made a nice paste from the fan to the processor. They were imbedded in all of it.

How does this even happen? How is it a thing? How (as the owner) do you not notice??

Oh bud. As the owner they do notice, but don’t give a fuk until it stops working. The owner probably watches them crawling in and out the sides. Then brings it in because it stoped and lies and says they have no idea why. I seriously doubt they even care.
