So why do they blow up is it because the battery is phyically defective or is it a software thing.

Yes yes I know someone here is gonna say

"its working as intended"

defective separator diaphragms (they haven't elaborated beyond that) in some cells which allow the anode and the cathode to touch when the battery is stressed.

quote:

French drugmaker Sanofi and Google owner Alphabet's life sciences firm Verily are to invest about $500 million in a diabetes joint venture combining devices with services, an example of growing ties between the pharma and tech sectors.

Sanofi, which made the announcement on Monday, said last year it was working on a partnership with Google in diabetes.

"The company will leverage Verily's experience in miniaturized electronics, analytics, and consumer software development, with Sanofi's clinical expertise and experience in bringing innovative treatments to people living with diabetes," the two companies said in a statement on Monday.

The Sanofi deal comes just after a month after British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline and U.S.-based Verily - formerly Google Life Sciences - created a new company focused on fighting diseases by targeting electrical signals in the body, jump-starting a novel field of medicine called bioelectronics.

Nearly 400 million people worldwide have diabetes, with the type 2 version accounting for more than 90 percent of cases. Without proper treatment or lifestyle changes, those numbers are expected to grow substantially in the coming years.

The JV, called Onduo, "will initially focus on the type 2 diabetes community, specifically on developing solutions that could help people make better decisions about their day-to-day health, ranging from improved medication management to improved habits and goals," Sanofi and Verily said.

A spokeswoman for Sanofi said products on sale would include connected objects such as insulin pens and online services.

She said Sanofi had invested $248 million in the joint venture, in which the French group controls a 50 percent stake.

The French group is working hard to revive declining sales in its diabetes division, hurt by sustained pricing pressure in the United States, the world's largest health market.

You know looking at the whole google nest killing revolv hub.

It would be nice for there to be a regulation that if you see something that requires access to company servers to work. That you have to maintain the servers or at the end of life unlock the device and let the owners homebrew their poo poo.

it's something with the batteries themselves. that are manufactured by a different samsung subsidiary, so samsung mobile has canceled all their contracts with themself

and, of course, samsung claims they have no idea how to tell which phones contain the affected batteries since they apparently have no internal tracking of builds somehow.

this is for those glucose-sensitive contact lenses, i'm pretty sure. afaik that's the only project google life sciences/verily has ever tried to produce, and google being google, they think they can just brute force the solution.

lithium polymer batteries are typically configured for either high current/low capacity applications or large capacity/low current applications. space is the limiting factor. if they put a large capacity battery in to get better battery life, and then allow the programmers to overclock the gpu to get not-garbage performance it'll cause the battery to overheat, shortout, and then catch fire.

similarly, if they put a high current battery in there, and don't program the phone to shut itself off before it reaches low voltage, you can over-discharge the lipo cell, which causes the electrolyte in it to permanently bond which decreases the battery's high current output capacity... which means it'll heat up and catch fire when you repeatedly over-charge and over-discharge it after a few cycles.

watched an episode of grand designs where this couple needed planning permission to restore this awesome historic stone mansion. Madame le mayeur of their little village sat down with then at a kitchen table and helped then fill out a 4 page color-coded foldout application form. in one evening. they got historic restoration planning permission to proceed in like 10 days. seemed eminently sensible.

tl:dr is that a rich man bought registered historic property, hosed it up with mcmansion-style renovations, and then for good measure stole a bunch of children's gravestones grom a derelict chapel 8 mile away and used them as wall decorations and also patio stones.
