      Honestly, the gift part always made the people of Troy look a bit naïve. It would perhaps have made more sense if they paid good money for the latest and greatest gigantic wooden horse made by the finest Greek artisans.

    This isn’t some technological triumph. This is terrifying. This is the military-industrial complex testing its capabilities. I know these batteries were specifically made for this, but what’s to stop a malicious actor or government pushing malware to civilian phones to explode a battery?

    I’m just impressed that no one detected any anomalies (oh, say, like a lump of c4 painted to look like a capacitor) during a service, considering how many of the devices were out in the wild.
