Reading all these stories on my phone has propelled ’irony’ to levels I’ve not thought possible.
We're probably going to see a push towards more decentralized hardware solutions.
Builders Build.
Wild stuff! They must have some moles on the inside to get this deep into their supply chain like that… probably with CIA/NSA/5 eyes… we are all living in a prison of our own making. Never should have allowed government to get this big. The founders had it right…
It is fucked up in every which way.
Does beg the question: what alternate technologies could we come up with that would be safer and ultimately, for real private use.
I feel the same now especially when I hold my phone 10 inch from my face.
It is scary.
Should I be worried that my bitaxe is a suicide bomber?
Now think EVs! The amount of energy that can get released remotely... Well you get the drift
These don’t look like battery explosions to me. Every Lithium Ion explosion I’ve seen involves fire, these seem to be a different type of explosive. Thinking there might be Mossad moles in the supply chain somewhere. Either way, terrifying for sure.
And that’s how you would spin it to protect your super power to zap attack anyone, anywhere.
They’d just put a super small chip and steal your money before doing this.
They hid explosives in them and waited to to it all at once. Its not the batteries.
Also it just has to be said... Israel is a terrorist organization. Stating the obvious, but somehow it's not obvious to most people.
Warmongers poking the bear with outright terrorism.
Removable batteries Now
😂
It will without the fan on 😄
Howdo i verify the software in that wire?
Builders build makes me think of
Cypherpunks write code
Good idea 👍
Been saying the same thing for years. I mean we all have saw the vape pen videos.
Yes I’m aware of that, but there have also been leaks suggesting that there were ways CIA and co used to trigger battery fires in devices in the past as well. It just made it very real that they would be more than willing to do that if they considered certain people inconvenient enough and I now can’t help but wonder if they can literally just do that on the same way they can use Pegasus to just completely own any major platform mobile device.
Agreed. The scale here is the terrifying thing to me.
The ability to attack entire collectives with one push of the button in surgical fashion. It's like a more effective tactical nuke.
i laugh in "the mobile phone is a useful, indispensible tool"
maybe not after all!
True, yet I don't believe they can make a normal battery explode with enough force to kill someone.
We need to be more radical. Removable explosives NOW.
A properly designed device can't cause a battery fire with software alone, it would have to be hardware modified. Any EE worth their salt would know to incorporate a physical protection circuit, such as a DW01 with the two accompanying MOSFETs, into any li-ion cell powered device that can have a failure mode that overloads the battery.
Not saying that every EE is worth their salt though, especially regarding things bought online in places like Ebay, Temu, etc.
