How bad can cyber attacks get? How about burning the internal components of a
machine, whether PC or Mac, to a crisp so there's no thought of it being

Perhaps creating a market for a device that independently measures the 
heatsink temperature, and shuts off the power if it goes too high. 
Wouldn't even be that complicated.
