By now, you've probably heard that Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 devices have a tendancy to go boom whilst charging. The company has already begun a "heartbreakingly" expensive recall, but that's not the only solution. The AP reports that in South Korea, Samsung will be issuing a software update for anyone who doesn't want to immediately exchange their Note 7. The update will limit battery charge to just 60%, which should solve the exploding thing at the expense of battery life.
