Grrrrrrr. Whoever designed and sold a smoke detector that CANNOT have its battery replaced, but must be discarded and a new one bought should be forced to swallow the great Pacific Garbage Patch in one sitting.

Just had one go off for having a low battery, and when it was finally prized open, one had to break the plastic to get at the non-standard battery that was wired into place. Evil. Just Evil.

Tissue - even tissues can be recycled or composted. But planned obsolescence for a smoke detector? Evil, say I.
