>There is an annoying trend among people that expect everything to be perfectly safe. It seems to be a symptom of an overly sheltered existence.

Yeah, how overly sheltered to not expect your headphones to not catch on fire and kill you. It's a symptom of not believing when someone pisses in our eyes and tells us it's raining. Especially when it's happening on our own dime.

>Nothing is perfectly safe, that is how lithium batteries fail.

Then lithium batteries should be banned from headphones.

>You should know so you can properly deal with problems.

Good point! And where would the customer learn about this? From HackerNews?

Last time I checked, Bose devices didn't come with a self-combustion warning.

And until they do, my point applies.
