for anyone who wants to offer actual advice: its a lenovo thinkpad t450 with a soldered i5-5300U that hits over 90C when running cargo compiles. I have changed the thermal paste and it didn't do much.

A few months ago when I had to replace my shitty HP laptop from 2018, I found a secondhand Thjnkpad model from 2013 for 90€ which was better in every way.
I didn't say it was good in the absolute, but that i5 processor from 2013 was better than the Intel Celeron processor from 2018, I checked. Yeah, my previous laptop wasn't the best of 2018; neither I or anyone in my direct family knew a lot about computers then.
