I work in professional services, and this is so true. I feel like every new client I onboard and start implementing has promises in their contract we can't fulfill due to product limitations. Oh, it's supposed to do X out of the box? Nope, maybe we can customize it, but that's a weird niche requirement that's going to take a lot of discovery and architecting.
We have a similar spoon for dog food. My wife wasn't paying attention and it got ripped up in the garbage disposal several years ago. It is easily identified by its jagged edges.
I want to know how they are getting that much energy safely delivered to the battery. That's probably 200+ kWh of energy getting dumped into the battery in 10 min. That's going to cause a lot of heat and require a massive delivery system. Maybe a local capacitor that slow charged and then dumps all at once, but I didn't see any details on the article.
My thought as well. Nicest cat wakeup I've seen on the internet.
