Over here in Scotland they changed the law so every house needs an interlinked heat, smoke and co2 alarm. If one goes off, they all go off! It's a fkin' nightmare!😂

Convert an old smoke alarm into a sweet boutique guitar amp

The alarms detect particulates in the that are indicative of smoke from a fire. Dust settling on the interior can trigger an alarm. My alarms did this in my new house as the drywall crew left a lot of dust around any openings. Important to note that they will detect condensation and temperature changes as well. Leaving a window or door open in winter near a detector can cause a false alarm.

Even the ones you can change the batteries have 10 year expiry date.

I pulled down one of my 5 smoke alarms the other day to steal a 9v for a guitar pedal. There was no replaceable battery in it. I couldn't even open it without breaking it. It was installed last year when I got a new panel. They are made to be thrown away when they die now.

For all my music gear I now use Duracell Procell batteries. They're the industrial version that aren't directly marketed to consumers. Normally they're a bit cheaper but last absolute ages! I found out about them because they were the long life version used in certain brands of smoke alarm.

Did you know that camera lenses made

[@Notso_Wild_Bill]

Camera lenses used thorium oxide in the glass between the 40s and 70s. It's not dangerous as long as it's not ingested.
