Mine take AA, I think in general 9 volts have started to get rare

Law here is now that smoke alarms are mains powered and the backup battery is a sealed-in lithium one that lasts for the 10 years until the alarm expires

Mine are 10 years old this year and are also mains powered. The backup is the 9 volt.

Replacing batteries forever in a smoke sensor isn't good since the sensor part also have an operational life so you could be keeping something that cannot detect poo poo in a critical role.

Some guy screaming racial epithets at you in an online FPS game with a beeping smoke detector in the background. Your response? "I hope your house catches fire while you're asleep and you die because you're too lazy to replace a battery"

I guess I'm just built different because I have no interest in waiting for a bunch of different loud wake up calls at 3am.

once like a month ago on a saturday the (mains powered) smoke detectors all just screamed at me for no apparent reason and then shut up as i was trying to find out what they thought was on fire best guess is a whiff of something in through the windows cause there was nothing but there's one like 5 feet above my bed that gave me a heart attack lol

TBH I think "burning dinner" is about the threshold you want the alarm to go off at. It's where you can still deal with it with a fire blanket or an extinguisher, and isn't a "grab your favourite kid" level problem that optical detection might result in.

Or steam from the bathroom when you have taken a shower.

You're giving me flashbacks to a complex I lived in where setting off the smoke detector was as easy as opening a hot oven.

See that would not have been a problem for me, unless it included opening a microwave oven.

My favorite Loveline episodes are when Adam would go apeshit when he heard a smoke detector beeping in the background of a call. Too bad they both turned into MAGA shitheads.

The walls in my apartment building are paper thin so I always know when one of my neighbors needs to replace a detector's backup battery. Especially when they ignore it.

what defect exists in people's brains that causes them to dig up a 2 year old email from a ticket and hit reply for something completely new rather than sending a new email

I've seen a woman who worked for the company for many years, who had made many tickets correctly in the meantime, respond to a 2 year old new hire ticket email with a request to set up an account and hardware for a completely different new hire, starting next Monday. And this ticketing system is email based; all she needed to do was send it as a fresh email to the same address to make a brand new ticket! If I hadn't been extra diligent with checking notifications, that would have been a very awkward Monday, since tickets that old don't get reopened!

You need some logic in your system that flat out rejects follow-up emails to closed tickets after a month or whatever has passed. It could even contain instructions about how to create a case.

The motherboard on a VIP's PC needs to be replaced. Assistant says it has to be done today or tomorrow while he's out of the office. She too is now out of the office. Dell actually gets someone scheduled on short notice for this afternoon. I unplug the PC, bring it down to the desk near my office. Now I'm waiting to see if the tech actually shows up. I get a call from the VIP's office. Makes me wonder if someone accidentally sent the tech up there. Nope! It's the VIP, wondering where his computer is.

Why not replace the entire thing? Why bother with motherboards and poo poo? It's pennies to a company, shouldn't even be a question. And then, copy, at your leisure, poo poo from the old one.
