Certainly not. That is what the PMIC is for. It’s up to the developers to responsibly configure the PMIC and that is a real hazard. However, the safety situation might not be as bad the author makes it out to be. I don’t know any better though, and it is always a good idea to know when it comes to safety. It’s an important topic to shine the light on.

The author also mentions LCD damage from SoC heat. Could it lead to a runaway from that side?
Last time I read about PinePhone, the topic was kill switches hardwired to chip enable pins that also make it impossible to sleep peripherals from main SoC. That was only “weird but okay”, but personally, with this discussions going, this phone and associated ROMs aren’t something I consider anymore.
