minus-squareAdam Kempenich ✅ @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·10 hours agoAre the sodium batteries safer than lithium, too? That’s an even bigger factor for me.
minus-squaremetaStatic@kbin.earthlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 hours agoI doubt most people have had a bad experience with lithium so they might be (actually they are) safer but the average person literally doesn’t care. I’ve shorted lithium cells before and even I don’t blink when it comes to carrying one in my pocket all day long.
minus-squaredavidgro@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 hours agoI agree in the general case, but I’ve met a few Spicy Pillows personally, and would very much like to not do so again, so I do also think safety is a thing at least some people think about. Just remind everyone of the Galaxy Note 7.
