     @foone@digipres.club good, I’ll make popsicles out of it. Thanks again foone for pissing in my sock drawer. The amount of money saved really shows I no longer buy those expensive popsicles from the store for an afternoon snack.

     these batteries only exist in two states:
     1. exploded/leaked and destroyed the PCB
     2. not exploded /YET/

     the worst part? this is a device I'm tearing down, yeah, but it's also a device I rely on every day for medical reasons: I bought a second one to tear it down.

     so now I know my legit one has a limited lifespan.

     @scrottie I think it's actually just that they bought a standard off the shelf retail battery, so of course it came with that warning label.

     @foone Can we talk about the "no baby" etching on there? Did someone have a baby that would disassemble electronics and eat the battery unless the battery was literally tack welded on to the board? How many babies died like that before they changed the process to tack welding the thing down?

     @foone do they still put data in a proprietary format on an SD card that not even the physician can read?

     I recall contributing to SleepyHead back then…
