So today we tried to dispose of an expired smart smoke alarm (Nest) properly, by bringing it to hazardous disposal.
It contains a circuit board, potentially radioactive material, and a Lithium-Ion battery.
The nice person who said no told us that after it has expired, it is no longer considered radioactive, and didn't care about either of the other issues, and told us to just put it in the garbage.
Sigh.

Smoke alarm (optical) from #AliExpress failed the smoke test. It feeps loudly when pushing the test button, but when held into some nice fire smoke, it does exactly nothing, despite patience.

So always test with a real life scenario. The test button only checks the batteries and the beeper are working, not the actual sensor.

I sent them a nice video and expect a refund. This isn't because it's from China, the same can happen with any.

I was just woken up by a smoke alarm going off in my house very briefly, maybe three seconds / beeps. It stopped before I could pinpoint the exact smoke detector that had been triggered. Might have been on top floor?

I walked through the whole house and looked & smelled in every room, and found no sign of smoke. I also checked outside on both sides of the house, since the windows were open, and didn't notice anything weird outdoors.

What the fuck? What do I do now?

My teacher asked if I shared these memes which is why I'm sharing them now, they all insult the smoke detector but the first 2 makes fun of when my dad didn't believe the detector would go off and the 3rd shows the detector goes off in end of life mode after a set time and the power play timer, power play means time with silence and once it runs out, the detector goes off #Kidde #FireAlarm #SmokeDetector #FireDetector #SmokeAlarm #StephenASmith #BallySports #TSN #meme #memes #lol #funny #nhl #MulletArena #hockey
