Oddbean new post about login | logout So any connected lithium battery is the new attack vector? Pagers, Walkie Talkies, Solar Cells, Cell Phones, Cars, Scooters, etc….
Horrifying
Lithium battery explosions are well understood at this point. The injuries do not match that. There must have been another explosive added to the case. Go look up lithium battery fire videos. More road flare than bomb.
Correct. The pagers appeared to be explosives. The other stuff today is what I’m referring to.
I haven't looked that close. Were they battery fires or bombs?
From today, not a battery fire. nostr:nevent1qqspfyp9gtrmccujzvny8dltgem27m72jtt6yutuw88ymjsmkhppvaqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygqjnagcjhgj4v7fehpxev3tmwuaayvwtuw0lxy58uuxpm6n53qcqvpsgqqqqqqswsx87p
It seems they intercepted international orders before delivery and added explosives that can be remotely triggered.
how do we know motorola wasn't in on it? they haev a long history of cooperation with israeli govt
How do you know they were Motorola pagers?
their state media claimed as such. "Hezbollah’s Al-Manar television showed what it said were images of Motorola pagers that were being used before the attack. “These pagers were detonated with high-tech by the Israeli enemy,” Hezbollah lawmaker Ibrahim Mousawi told the group’s TV network. Motorola Solutions did not immediately respond to Bloomberg’s requests for comment." the bloomberg article is paywalled but this references bloombergs article https://www.straitstimes.com/world/middle-east/exploding-pagers-in-lebanon-spur-theories-on-sabotage-method
Reports were Taiwan. Not Motorola. Manufacturer : Gold Apollo Model : Rugged Pager AR-924 Country of Manufacturing: Budapest Per News articles, if you trust those. 🤷🏻♂️
interesting. maybe bloomberg got it wrong.
Internet connected (electric) cars that are 'Drive by Wire'... aka giant remote controlled bombs on wheels.

nah... there was a vector of hydrogen gas and lead acid batteries, an episode of Mr Robot featured this, in a mostly closed environment, and entailed haxing the ventilators to turn off so it reached oxidising ratio that is a whole different kettle of fish and air that has enough H2 in it to go bang in any serious way is already too low in oxygen for humans to be in it plus it's pretty hard to get lithium batteries to leak much hydrogen no, these old school pagers had probably got special batteries with little globs of C4 explosive or semtex or something and a small, passive radio device embedded in them that waits for a specific coded signal on a specific set of radio frequencies to charge their capacitor and discharge into the C4 blob most likely the devices had NiMH battery cells, which are quite bulky for the power capacity, as these are old school tech, and probably don't work with the new 3.6V lithium battery voltage but rather the old school 2.5-3V of 1.4V/cell NiMH

I'm never buying an EV
Like an internal combustion vehicle can't be rigged to blow? Avoiding all the modern computerized internet-connected car stuff seems more important
Can't believe how far I had to scroll in the trending 24 hour feed to find a post about this Nostr is not seeming censorship resistant
Its not censorship issue rather its an echo chamber issue. People on nostr like nostr because they don’t get exposure to that kind of content so it doesn’t get shared or engaged with by top accounts. You might try searching #news hashtags to find that content.
I don't know if I'd call it censorship, but I definitely wouldn't call the echo chamber "censorship resistance," you see what I'm saying?
