While the lithium-ion batteries in disposable electronic cigarettes are discarded after a single use, they can continue to perform at high capacity for hundreds of cycles, according to a study published December 12 in the journal Joule.

    That reminds me of this monstrosity https://www.walmart.com/ip/Neutrogena-Light-Therapy-Acne-Treatment-Face-Mask-1-ct/168984043

    You have to buy new “activators” every 30 uses as a way of increasing profits… You know rather than just letting users replace the batteries.

      This seems easy to hack. Just dig into it and hook it up to a wall wort with the applicable resistor, then sell the monstrosity on eBay for 2x the cost.

        I bought one of those once and when I realized what it was (something disposable that really shouldn’t be) I was quite upset.

        It’s 2023 for gods sake we should be able to buy rechargeable teledildonic cock rings at every corner store by now ffs. Alexa, suck my dick.

      I used to have a radio that would use the leftover battery from a Polaroid 600 cassette.

      Iirc that was some sort of a lipo and it handled the flash and motors, but had more than enough power after the paltry 10 pictures were taken to power an AM/FM radio.

      60 dollars for 10 dollars worth of electronics with no moving components… of course they wouldn’t let you just keep using it for years
