Jim, it is most likely that you put it in a backpack.
Before the 2017 fire, I had three separate but beautifully cushioned and perfectly sized laptop carrying cases from Brenthaven, one a briefcase-styled unit, one a backback, and one a delicious leather weekender. Nos. 2 & 3 perished in the fire, but I still use #1, which looks as good as it did when I bought it more than 5 years ago. My guess is that if the lid opened partially and the Mac heated because of inadequate ventilation while it was in the carrying case it was more my carelessness than a problem with the carrying case.
If that’s the issue, though, is it likely what I experienced might be the result? Again, when I pulled the Mac from its carrying case, it was at the “your mac has restarted because of a problem” screen, and it was not warm, and the battery hadn’t drained. Moreover, it kept restarting within a minute or two intentional reboots, and none of this was accompanied by any signs of the computer overheating. Disk Utility (when I examined the computer from the recovery partition) reported some problem with the pre-boot blocks of my encrypted SSD, and after I unlocked the encrypted boot partition to run the “repair” module of DU, ?on all partitions, the problem has not recurred (even though Disk Utility did not report that it had done any repairs).
I was required to enter my admin PW before Disk Utility could examine the SSD. DU reports now that the main bootable partition remains encrypted, which is what I’d expect.
Maybe it’s an oddity that will remain unexplained.
I do have another issue with this laptop. I’ve had keyboard issues for at least the past two years. I did spill some liquid onto the case before this started, but that was confined to the upper left corner of teh keyboard, and affected primarily the backslash and bracket (angle and squiggly) keys. We cleaned the keyboard with compressed air and application of an electronics cleaner that my son had used on many occasions to revive Windows keyboards at the auto parts store where he worked, and where the keyboards generally looked as thought they’d been painted with used motor oil. The stuff worked, but a year later the ">/.” key became less responsive. In the interim Apple had issued its service bulletin for all MacBook Pro keyboards beginning with 2015 However, when i took the computer to my local Apple retail store, they discovered traces of the original liquid spill, and that terminated all discussions, even though the only misbehaving key was now the period.
The action of that key improved with whatever the Genius Bar wizard did in the back room, but it’s beome less responsive again in the past few weeks, and of course now I’m almost 200 miles distant from an Apple Retail Store.
I’m of a mind to call Apple telephone support and describe my tale of woe about the keyboard, but I fear they’ll agree to examine the computer, send me a box, then contact me in a few days and tell me they’ve levied a charge of a few hundred dollars to diagnose the issue, that they blame the recalcitrant “period” key’s sluggishness on the liquid spill, and need to charge me another $1500 for repairs.

Re: "Trust This Computer?"
When I traveled for work, my electronics devices went into a backpack, and supporting things like GPS, chargers, convertors, extension cord, adapters, etc all went into a toilet kit or ditty bag into the backpack.

Re: "Trust This Computer?"
I will vouch for Jim's claim that distance from the transmitter greatly increases drain, and not signal and searching increases the drain even more. I used to literally work in some farmers field, where cell signals might not be present. I was often at construction sites in farm land in very rural areas. Cellular and wi-fi signals were scarce.
CyberPower makes a very good convertor/charger for use in a vehicle, which have very "dirty" power. These will clean up the power and protect your devices.

I seem to have lost (or lost access to) all my Autotext entries.
I’ve Googled and haven’t found any useful information so far.
I’ve never had any trouble before, and I’m not sure if this happened right after an update or before (I know this isn’t very helpful).
They’ve always worked no matter what template I'm using. I’ve checked the keystroke I assigned and it’s the same. I’ve tried to find them using the pull-down menu and only the Word standard Autotext entries are visible.
I’ve tried a few other tests and found a few random Autotext entries by trying different templates but none of these make any sense.
Does anyone have any clues, please? Where might I look? What might I try? I hope very much I don’t have to recreate all these.
thanks

Re: My unhappy MacBook Pro
Jim, it is most likely that you put it in a backpack. Get iStat anyway. It is a great indicator of what is going on when you have an issue, and if you have a draining new app installed. Just like Activity Monitor, or auto insurance.
Besides Hardware Monitor, I have have the CPU History displayed on the desktop for nearly 20 years. Trying to open them after a problem is almost useless, especially if the Mac froze up.

Yes. I didn’t find anything untoward. I think the suggestion to obtain iStat Menus was so I could see readings from temperature sensors, which all seem OK in the hour or so I’ve been monitoring them with my machine disconnected from a/c power
Looks as though I have 14 days to see if iStat Menu will tell me anything for free and to decide whether it’s a tool I should be paying for anyway.
Thanks for your input.

Re: My unhappy MacBook Pro
I meant to reply to the question about the temp range. I believe when you get to 140F you will start noticing issues, but don't quote me on that. I use Hardware Monitor, and old app, and keep the display visible on the desktop. I monitor the temp and fan speed. I have done this for years, so that when I notice and increase or problems, that is where my eyes glance. Each machine is different and each sensor, will vary some. If I physically do some repairs, especially something that requires removing the heat sink, that is something I check.
I have had this app displayed on the desktop since my 2000 G4 Pismo.

Re: My unhappy MacBook Pro
There you have it Jim R. If you travel with a MBP and it gets jostled, it can waken it. Remember, it is only a magnet that is causing it to go to sleep. The MBP then starts up and needs circulation for cooling. It can either overheat, or run down the battery.
This used to happen to me when I went to the library. Luckily for me, the library is only 5 blocks away.

Also, look at your Internet activities. Are they the types of activities that anyone in, let's say China, cares about? Folks in China have no interest in your pron viewing, for instance. Most of the stuff that you want to keep secure, you want to keep out of the hands of your family, your community, your business rivals, or your local government. No one in China likely cares about any of that type of stuff. ... Randy Singer For the most part, true. Until you—or someone you have influence with, or your job—becomes interesting to those who have your particular information. Then “leverage” becomes an option. Remember a little-known judge—at least to most of the US public—named Robert Bork? He was nominated to the Supreme Court in the 80’s, and during the senate nomination hearings the judge’s video rental tastes were mentioned in the press. Prior to his nomination no one really cared what he watched in the privacy of his home. Until... that information became valuable to someone. In this case is was simply a journalist, but I think I make my point. Privacy doesn’t seem important until you wish you had had it. Dave

Re: "Trust This Computer?"
Admittedly, I don't do that often. But I did it last night and it made no difference. The only thing that helped was putting the phone in Airplane Mode. It would charge fine that way without asking any questions, but the problem returned whenever I turned Airplane Mode off.

Re: Deep-Fusion on iPhone 11
See? for a concise explanation. I gather it requires the new CPU (A13 Bionic with neural engine) in the 11, 11 Pro, 11 Pro Max (only, so far) to do the processing; not that it couldn't be done with different software on ? older hardware, but that it would be too slow and/or too power hungry there; and of course they do want some new features exclusive to new hardware, to keep people upgrading.
