I'm not sure if just recovery works for everyone.

I recently had wrist pain that lasted for almost 2 years. For a year I used the mouse with my other hand, but I was still using the keyboard and sometimes a pen. Then for half a year I tried typing with one hand and used a wrist brace.

When that didn't work, I finally tried to do simple wrist exercise - wrist curls, grip strengthening and stretching, usually after using the keyboard - even if it's only supposed to be used proactively. 3 months later the pain went away.

Granted - it might be that I did need to let it rest for a while, but probably not for 1.5 years.

Well I patented the technique of patenting stuff so I believe you owe me some money.

According to another Slashdot article from last month, a professor at MIT has already managed to make a battery that charges and discharges in 10 seconds:

Which of course means the battery swapping infrastructure in this article isn't needed at all.
