Did you take a hard look at your cell phone today and wonder if it could be hacked into exploding?
@TheAbbotTrithemius Read @Render's latest. It seems that the pagers were intercepted, turned into tiny little bombs, then sent merrily on their way.
I'm nobody living in oblivion.
Here's what I thought about:
The Kingsman movie - and the cell phones rigged with a neurological wave that triggered the centers of aggression.

@TheAbbotTrithemius l have a reconditioned lphone 11, purchased >6 mo ago, so no concern that my phone is affected. But l was on city transit today, looking around, all those phones, all these people. How do you undo this? Are we ever safe?
Well strangely, I have been thinking some sort of beeper set-up might be a good way to cut the need for constant web connection. But after this it’s like WTF…
I think there’ll come a serious unconnect movement at some point. I know that leaving my cell at home and moving through the world without it for a few hours is actually a good feeling of freedom and sustained focus on whatever is in the moment. Even if it’s reading a book on a subway w/o constant hits of digital dopamine.
@TheAbbotTrithemius I have an old phone that seems to get a wee bit hot... but it is in another room.... ;)
@TheAbbotTrithemius *moves phone further away
@TheAbbotTrithemius the pagers had explosives added after being made… not hacked to explode via software.
Yes, it was unclear yesterday, and also reported the ithium batteries inside the beepers were used as the ignitors/fuses.
@TheAbbotTrithemius
Back in 1996, Israel’s Shin Bet agency assassinated a Hamas bombmaker with explosives in his phone
Just sayin
😂
But hey I've not pissed off any Israelis recently so voted no lol
