The reason we don’t see exploding battery attacks more often is not because it’s technically hard, it’s because the erosion of public trust in everyday things isn’t worth it.

edit: after 20 comments, i'm adding a post description here, since most of the commenters so far appear not to be reading the article:
This is about how surprisingly cheap it is (eg $15,000) to buy a complete production line to be able to manufacture batteries with a layer of nearly-undetectable explosives inside of them, which can be triggered by off-the-shelf devices with only their firmware modified.
Pedantics fighting pedantics LOL
And when you put the same explosives inside a barbie doll and make it go off, then it wasn't an exploding barbie doll. Or was it? ;-)
I think you mean "pedants fighting pedants" :p
This really should be the unofficial name of places like lemmy and reddit
Fun fact, a group of pedants is called a flem. To use it in a sentence: "the party was ruined by a flem of pedants".
I would say that's an accurate description for a barbie doll that explodes personally.
