The only #SpicyPillow I‘m willing to eat is Kimchi in a plastic bag.

Oh, also, the old spicy pillows.

I'll have some fun passivating them outside when I have a chance.

Just finished disassembling a late-Intel-era Macbook Pro to remove the spicy pillows from it, and I gotta say, I am not impressed with Apple's hardware engineering on it.

I'm not talking about them gluing the cells of the battery to the case - that's been discussed to death, and was unnecessary. I'm talking about some other rather bad choices made during design.

Specifically: fasteners. In general, you want the fewest different types of threaded fasteners possible in your design. Fewer parts to keep in stock, fewer possible mistakes when assembling and disassembling units, etc. And Apple utterly failed this design rule.

It's like each separate part in this machine is held in with 3 different fasteners. Sometimes that's unavoidable in a design; you're using machine screw #1 for most things, but there's one that has to go into this particular place where it can't be as deep/long or there isn't room for the same head or something. But in this case, most of the fasteners are different for no very good reason. There's room for them to have used a common screw for many of the cases where they just ... didn't.

Paying the Apple tax for this kind of janky design (and user-hostile repairability) is just insulting.

"Designed badly in California, manufactured in China".

Gah!

I opened an old laptop that I'm repurposing into a server so I could add some storage. Found this lovely spicy-pillow inside

I guess it's not going to have a built-in UPS after all.

The good news is it still boots without a battery, so my plan continues...

@drombo

Du hast nicht vor, damit Bahn zu fahren oder gar zu fliegen? Das ist ein #spicypillow !
Zu Hause schon ausbauen und vor Abreise fachgerecht entsorgen. Nicht beschädigen und beim Handlen einen Eimer Sand oder eine Keramikschale bereithalten.

Found the misplaced 3DS XL and yowza that's one spicy pillow.

Already ordered a replacement.

I reviewed the T-Mobile G1 and HTC Magic in 2025. It was a trip... and a fire risk. 😅

Damn, #spicypillow detected.

Spicy pillow. Just out of warranty [sad beep]. #spicypillow

Just did a battery replacement on an old HP Envy. #SpicyPillow detected!

My new Ambrane power bank became a spicy pillow after using it for 3 times.

I wonder whether the heat generated by wireless charger in it caused this or the battery is of low quality.

I put it in battery quarantine (steel tiffin box) overnight & disposed safely morning.

Is a swollen alkaline battery worthy of the name "spicy pillow" or do we have/need a lesser term for it? #SpicyPillow

Hab in hintersten Winkel meines Büro Schranks diese alte nicht mehr genutzte Powerbank gefunden. Ich wollte sie nur zur Seite räumen, aber mir ist sofort aufgefallen dass sich das Gehäuse komisch anfühlt. Es ist nämlich deutlich aufgebläht und ist gerade dabei ein #spicypillow zu werden.

Bin grad sehr froh, dass mir das aufgefallen ist. Wenn die noch wer weiß wie lange ungenutzt im Schrank gelegen wäre - wer weiß was passiert wäre. Und wo soll ich das jetzt am besten lagern, bis ich das nächste mal zum Recyclingcenter komme? Richtig sicher fühle ich mich damit nämlich nicht mehr...

#reddit #spicypillow lists all kinds of #batteries that went out of form (before exploding):

#hardware #battery

I was thinking of see if I could fix it.

Well that's what it's not working... #spicyPillow

Looks like battery is more expensive than the cheap bluetooth it's in.

Ah well

#SpicyPillow with your sushi anyone?

The recent support from the #Redox 0.9.0 Release video and the #HannahMontana #Linux v2 #Benchmark video has been impressive. However, todays #SpicyPillow is regarding #VirtualPrivateServer #VPS #Hosting in #2024 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hT1h5nHg6DI. If you are aware of any #Providers that offer #AlpineLinux by default, it would be great to hear and showcase who they are on https://everybytecounts.org! :)
