My understanding of this is those pagers and the network they were connected to were only for use by Hesbollah.

Is anyone even remotely surprised by this?

He was probably meeting with someone who had one, being an ambassador and all.

Multiple news articles are saying this was a production level attack, on devices that were specifically ordered by Hesbollah.

Those devices were bought by Hesbollah, for their soldiers to use, and were connected to a network they operate.

From what I understand about the attack, even if one of these devices made it’s way into the hands of a doctor, it would have to be connected to the Hesbollah network to detonate.

They’re already at war though.

To take this to it’s logical extreme, how do you feel about assassination attempts on high ranking Nazi officials? They’re non combatants, after all.

Likely because the bulk of those wounded by this attack were not Hezbollah

What makes you think that? These pagers were bought by Hesbollah to be used by their guys.

Israelis and cops just doesn’t sound as snappy.

Misguided? No, it’s a scam, just like almost every other crypto coin.

Yeah, being trapped in a lift with a burning Ebike battery sounds like not much fun at all.

Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.

While it’s likely there were civilians hurt by this, the target was undeniably Hesbollah. So no, not terrorism.

That’s still a lot more targeted than the air strike example.

No way did lithium batteries kill eight people.

This is the first time in a long time I’ve heard of a use case for AI that is genuinely useful

It’s a job very few people will want to do, it can do the job as well as, if not better than a human, and it’s a use case that is genuinely useful.

I wish them luck.

I’ve already got a charger for every room of the house and every vehicle I drive, so I’m don’t really care about that, but I’d be peeved if I didn’t even get a cable.

That’s good to know. I’d quite like to have a soldering iron that I can run from an 18v power tool battery actually.

Yep. I don’t think I’ll be buying one of those, either.

Oh, I was dead serious. You can get battery drills that come with a fucking app now, I’m not surprised at all it’s the same with solder irons.

Power and temp up and down is just too simple, I guess.
