I wanted to start again the old #PS3 here but I didn't want to pay a new lithium battery.
Adapting one salvaged battery from an other dead device :p

How body heat could replace batteries in wearables of the future.
@PopularScience reports that researchers say the same technology could be used to cool down hot semiconductor chips.

@ustralien Granted, @frameworkcomputer makes it super easy to #replace as they use one single #Torx bit and document their stuff and actually sell you the parts unlike #Apple...
They could've done it like #Lenovo did with some #ThinkPads and include a smaller internal battery so people don't have to shut-down to swap, or like #ToughBooks and even some old #PowerBooks just have more than one slot for a #battery to get chugged in.
Cuz the #DRM on Lenovo's devices prevent 3rd parties from building some once Lenovo decides to not give a shit anymore...
"Big batteries at home could catch fire! They are a risk!"
No: "the findings indicate that the probability of an home storage systems (HSS) fire is very low (0.0049 %) and is 50 times lower than for a general house fire."
"But solar panels catch fire quite often!"
No: "Compared to the generally low fire probability of an HSS, the probability of PV systems catching fire is a further three times lower"

Okay, one of my 10 #smokedetectors started its low #battery alarm tonight. They always start beeping during the night, don't they?.
Should I continue to buy cheap 9V blocks at the local discounter or switch to rechargeable batteries instead (edit: for the environment)?
Non-rechargeable: Duracell industrial (1,35€) lasted 3½ years. Cheap batteries (50 Cents) lasted 2 years.
The rechargeable ones (~5€) do seem to provide just 8,4V and store only ~300-650mAh. Charging via USB cable or proprietary charger. I'm afraid they don't last more than a year and replacing them frequently is tedious.
Do you have experience with that?
