gollark: It's a shame we're so averse to nuclear stuff, or my watch could go from "battery replacement needed every 7 years" to "*nuclear* battery replacement every 100 years".
gollark: Not yet, not yet...]
gollark: It seemed like such an innocent idea - embedding small radioisotope generators in SSDs so if the power fails they can continue writing from their buffers, or run routine maintenance tasks. But little did they know that some SSDs would explode when they hit end-of-life...
gollark: Randomly exploding *nuclear-powered* SSDs.
