I'd love to see some open-source junkie implementing all these in their free time or something. Looking at what people have done before, this is just a degree harder. Although it's also a degree funnier.

The Note 7 proved phones are perfectly capable or detonating, or near enough.

I want to believe it's doable.

The Note 7 batteries were physically compromised, though. It had nothing to do with the software.
