Well, technically it is a solved problem. Spain fielded electronically fused cluster bomblets that were disabled via a drained capacitor if not exploded in 5 minutes. This eliminated the possibility of live duds.
This Espin system has since been removed from service. Not sure if there are any similar system currently in use.
I love the flat plastic barbed things you shove down the drain, pulling back a ton of gunk stuck on the barbs: Zip tool
They cost a couple bucks at a hardware ire home improvement store. They work extremely well.
IBM bought a an innovative SAN company, and sold these products for a while as their XIV brand (no relation to my username!). Was pretty much superior in most ways to their home-grown SAN offerings.
They killed the entire line off, after the 3rd gen product; about all that remains of it is the management UI, they butchered it and applied it to their own SANs. But the UI was only a small part of what made XIV great.
The original XIV founder went on to found Infinidat, which basically carries on where XIV left off, it was a great migration to their hardware!
Been running boinc / World Community Grid jobs for like 10+ years straight. Has all sorts of throttling settings, so it’s pretty much set it and forget it, it doesn’t interfere with other apps I run.
