Just a reminder that a certainly person likes to dispense wrong information on topics he clearly knows nothing about .... like suggesting "electrical grease" under the false assumption it is conductive

JustAnOldFashionedLEDGuy is indulging his NPD in attaempting to humiliate me by showing something that is absolutely true. Ha ha ha, what a moron I am, Silicone or dialectic grease is an insulator and will not conduct electricity. That is true. Later in the thread, that I will proudly link to, my error became humorously obvious, that the suggestion was intended not to conduct electricity rather than make a better contact, as I had incorrectly assumed, and I acknowledged my misunderstanding of the intent of the suggestion, and I edited my post to strike out the incorrect assertions, honestly leaving them there for all to see, forever. What that shows is that I am capable of mistakes like everyone, yet have honor and will quickly acknowledge my mistakes, something that JustAnOldFashionedLEDGuy can't do and thinks honor is for suckers as he takes advantage of others. I am not ashamed of that, you borderline retarded subhuman turd-sucker. I am proud of it. Others in the thread were inexplicably looking for far fetched and unlikely reasons for the corrosion when the smoking gun, cell outgassing, was staring us right in the face.
Meanwhile, JustAnOldFashionedLEDGuy realized almost immediately upon being pointed our his boneheaded superstitious error that freezing Li-ion cells can serve little purpose because reducing self-discharge will be defeated by the humidity of a consumer freezer, but he is incapable of admitting his error, and is intellectually dishonest in continuing to try to find some way, desperately, not to appear like a blow hard idiot, actively trying to trick others into making the same ignorant mistake with him.
You're wrong. It's just not that big of a deal. Get help, because your mental illness is a big deal, as you get pleasure from hurting others. You can't hurt me, but there are undoubtedly people in your life that you care about, and that is who you hurt, as often as every single day, by bullying them, menacing them, threatening them, belittling and denigrating them, and they don't deserve your narcissistic abuse, whomever they are. You can be cured or mitigate the mental illness just by sitting with a professional for a half an hour talking twice a month for 2 years or less. But chances are great you'll insist on remaining an ignorant, arrogant abusive @sshole. Please prove me wrong.
More intellectual dishonesty, and frankly a provably false statement. Thousands and thousands of laptops and even more cell phones have caught fire.Have their been lithium laptop fires? Yes, several a decade ago with bad Sony batteries.
2010 UPS747 fatal plane crash caused by Li-ion battery fire
2017 laptop fire
2020 laptop fire
4 Jan. 2023 laptop Li-ion battery fire
Same day, laptop battery fire
21 Jan. 2023 fatal Li-ion house fire
Today's battery fire, 18 kids injured
HP and Apple have recalled hundreds of thousands of laptops due to fire risk.
The idea here is to neither sensationalize nor falsely downplay the risk. Not every Lithium ion cell will catch fire, most will not, and hardly any will. But there will continue to be a non-negligible amount of fires every year due to bad or abused cells. The risk is small, but it is not zero.
