Nor have I.

So, say there was a biological upgrade available to you now which once fitted would allow you to recharge overnight by plugging yourself into the mains, not unlike all the other devices filling (plugging, if you will...) your sockets at the moment.
Once fitted, you would never again eat anything or have the appetite to do so, your body fat would be controlled perfectly. You blood sugar would be perfectly regulated (no 'food moods') and the risk of diabetes practically mitigated. Never would you have to go through the indignity of having to use a public lavatory. (Bowel movements would remain necessary but only one every 3-4 months). All beverages can be consumed as usual.
Recharge every night, one week battery life in the extreme.
Yours for say... 699 of those American dollars. You want one?

Hmmm, don't know. Would one still be able to drink?

Well of course, I wouldn't have mentioned it if it had that caveat.

In which case, it sounds like a grand idea providing that we don't have to start flashing up annoying messages when we get down to 15% charge.

Depends. How long does a full charge take? And what can I do while it is charging? Are the batteries replaceable?

6-8 hours. It's best to sleep through it all, no sockets required it's wireless charging which also has the handy side effect of acting as an electric blanket. Slight 50Hz hum can be heard, or 60Hz if on a Mickey Mouse 110v system.

I guess that hum you mentioned answers that question

That's perfectly safe for work.
At least three of the managers here eat kittens regularly.

Certain people related to me (who shall remain unnamed) would be dead in a week if they had this because they never remember to charge anything ever.
It depends on reliability, safety, battery lifetime and so on, I guess. If it's only $700 (including installation?), it would probably be crap.

Are you talking about me? Huh? I always forget to recharge my lapt

Okay, so one end goes to the wall socket.. where do I plug the other end? And will I explode if I get too hot?
Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

It's wireless, so there is no other end.

Most unlikely. You may catch fire however but that's consistent with getting 'too' hot regardless of any upgrade. According to the datasheet, the engineers have "gone to great efforts to minimise any detrimental effects arising from overheating including the use of two autonomous safety systems to cut off the charge if excess heat/combustion is detected."

I'm sure I've heard that one before!
