In September, thousands pagers and walkie-talkies held by members of Hezbollah exploded. The incident appears to have been the result of explosives hidden within the batteries of the devices by Israel’s intelligence service, Mossad, and the Israeli military, then triggered remotely.

Any system that solely relies on a computer to not literally explode is poorly designed.

I watched a neat presentation by a nuclear plant operator, and they talked about defense in depth applied to safety. You know no one control system is 100%, so for key safety features you have multiple completely separate systems so if one catastrophically fails the others will step in independently. In this case you'd want something like battery protection circuitry that runs separately from the machines computers.
