At this point in the world, just fuck literally everyone and everything.
I have a friend who always used to call me a nihilist because of my attitude and to some extent that was true, lately I've been feeling more like an anarchist.
The next stage is accelerationist, hope to see you there soon
Yep, Hence the mad rush to AI everything. The Third World isn't a bad place to be when mass corporate layoffs begin.
I think this is a good start
I don’t think cell phone batteries can be wired to explode, but I am not an electrical engineer.
Wired? Certainly.
Doing it without extra wiring is probably possible too. You'd have to override the battery charge controller, which is probably not available to an app, if to Android at all. But I'd be unsurprised if there was some exploit that made it possible.
I'm not an electrical engineer but I did work with explosives a little in the army. You'd only need a small amount of high explosive to do some serious damage to someone if their phone was in their pocket and that explosive went off. Modern phones have plenty of empty spaces to stuff full of enough explosives to do lots of damage. It'd be a lot easier to detect then just making the Li-ion batteries ignite but who can say what the IDF can smuggle into the supply chain.
They would likely be detected by modern airport security if they put in actual explosives.
All battery powered devices go through the scanner separately.
The israeli pager/walkie-talkie attack's tampered equipments (filled with explosives) completely bypassed airport security...
Actually that is true. So you are right they probably could easily rig phones.
Yes, i mentioned in my comment how they’d be easier to detect.
No but I bet they could be used do melt the device, imagine if all of a sudden nobody had phones, chaos.
Samsungs Ai obsession seems way more aggressive than the pixels
Can we introduce them to Meshtastic?
