The Register thinks my La Croix benchmark is legit (sorta)

Brandon Vigliarolo: iPhone 18 Pro benchmark boosted by giving it a cold drink

To make a long story short, a cold can of La Croix (in Birchler’s case – the cooling potential of an aluminum can isn’t limited to name-brand sparkling “naturally essenced” water) takes an already beefy device to new levels of sustained performance by helping it shed heat and avoid thermal throttling.

Shout out to The Register for linking to my weird benchmark.
