Taking stock of all the little lithium-ion fire hazards I’ve been keeping in a box… under our bed. Should probably get rid of these.

Ah… old game controllers and peripherals are a problem too, aren’t they? Got some PS3 controllers and other things here too. ><

@jonikorpi if I didn't live on the opposite side of the planet from you I'd come take those PS4 controllers off your hands, but I think the fuel emissions involved would not make it worthwhile

@nickdrawthing turns out they are PS3 controllers anyway :D

@jonikorpi didn't the CV1 take alkalines? Unless you used a lithium rechargeable of course. Still good idea to at least store them without batteries.

@jonikorpi The iPod (3rd Gen?) is hitting me in the feels. I loved that thing so much

@Naate Me too! Clickwheel go brrrrr. I think it’s 3rd or 4th gen. Maybe I can still keep it, but somewhere more visible.

@jonikorpi I ended up doing a drive mod and firmware mod to mine to give it a much longer life, too. It was a great piece of kit for it's time

@jonikorpi I’m working on the assumption that if they’re sufficiently drained of charge, they’re probably harmless

@sinbad For me it's just that… well, if there's a 0.001% chance of danger per device every day, okay. However… what if there are like 30 devices? Suddenly the combined chance is not that tiny anymore. ><
