oh...

oh my god this is so far gone i can't even unscrew the screws, they're literally rusted away

hey guess who accidentally just punctured a lipo

oops...

and yeah i guess i'm ok, it's not warming up or bulging (the bulge it has now is just from prying it away from the metal tray in the ipod, that thing was stuck HARD! and the tool i was using to try prying it off is what accidentally punched a hole in it eventually)

i think the battery was far far too gone already, the ipod wouldn't even boot while plugged in https://computerfairi.es/media/3G43DsslObKfTNzFGKE

it's very much cold to the touch so i think i don't have to worry much about it rn

@squirrel glad to hear

still, put it in a metal box with holes in the top, leave it outside

those fuckers can be nasty

@troubleMoney i live on the eighth floor of an apartment building, there's no outside

@squirrel ...fair point, forgot that

The metal box thing will still help if it does decide to go up though

@troubleMoney ... i don't have a metal box

@squirrel ah, that would be another problem with the suggestion wouldn't it

er... just put it somewhere with very little flammable stuff arounf

@squirrel basically I just want squirrel to be safe and not on fire and I'm throwing suggestions around

I'm sure you actually have it handled
