@alienghic @bri7 LFP batteries are quite safe. As in, you can throw them into a fire and they still won't explode, or you can take a pick-axe to them and they won't catch fire. They also last 3-4 times as long.

@bugaevc For one, there's been a major shift in priority. 40 years ago the focus was on usability and getting more computer users on board. Now the priority is to make you click on ads.

Working on partitioning tools on my main desktop. What could possibly go wrong?
