> He's had it since January this year and claims the battery life degraded from the advertised ~7 days to around 1.5 days before the swelling incident. This rapid drop in capacity made him stop charging it regularly, and it actually had no battery juice left when the swelling happened.
Personally if I knew the battery was bad and wasn't going to bother charging it, I sure wouldn’t keep wearing a ticking time bomb
I had an Oura Ring 4 for a few weeks, and it's one of the only tech gadgets I have ever returned. Thankfully it didn't swell and trap my finger, but it hit some kind of internal deadlock that didn't go away until the battery fully depleted over several days. The repeated-knock gesture to hard reset didn't work either. Best part is, my wife hit the exact same bug just a week later. I don't see myself buying a smart ring ever again.
Just cut it in a bucket of water or sink or something. The battery can get angry all it wants, the thermal mass of a 1-5gal bucket of water or flooded sink is just gonna laugh at it.
Dude could probably have made his flight if TSA had been willing to call in a favor from the buildings and grounds guys. Might get a little nick from the bolt cutters or whatever so cut on the top or bottom of the finger where there's less blood vessels.
Software bloat kills, my precious, and they saw it, monitored his distress and did nothing, precious. The lord of the rings, rules by fear of liability precious, a burning eye, lidless, cutting costs, gollum. One ring, to rule them all.

Does Samsung provide any documentation on where to cut the ring in order not to puncture the battery?

Both Samsung and Oura do, yes. I’d almost want to have a little wallet-card with the emergency cut diagram, out of first responder paranoia.

Wow this is crazy. What's crazier is the drop in battery level from 7 days to 1.5 days in 9 months!
