“If they can explode pagers, imagine what they can do to EV’s! Trapped in car while your battery overheats.” Is any modern technology safe at all, anymore? Are we better off only using stuff from say, pre-2014?

Regardless of exactly how the Lebanese pagers all exploded today, it seems clear that today’s incident has disclosed to the public that the government can, at any time, destroy your devices using a remote signal, injuring or even k*lling you.
Are any Electric Vehicles safe anymore? What about your cell phones, or laptops? How do you feel now, knowing that if you get on the wrong side of a government, your stuff could just explode at any given moment?
I sure bet Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would have loved to have this technology during the 2022 Trucker Convoy protest.

Climate change is the biggest pysop in mankind that doesn’t get talked about enough. How’s this for climate change, grow more trees and stop destroying forest for cheap ass suburb neighborhoods that can be blown away by one straight line wind gust.

I recently watched a video of some Asian man walking into an elevator carrying a battery and it started on fire while he was in the elevator. When they finally got the door open the dude was charcoal.
The in-elevator video shows the entire elevator cabin turn into a literal incinerator after he walks in and the battery starts to burn up.

This exploding pager technology would have won the War on Drugs.
It would have also been instrumental for Obama’s Fast and the Furious.
It is just further proof that the US gub’ment doesn’t really want to solve problems, just treat the symptoms…

The style of attack was not seemingly related to igniting the batteries(my first assumption was that this was the method used), it seems to have been a supply chain attack inserting pagers containing some kind of explosive, it was a non-incendiary blast so unlikely to have been the battery overheating.
With that said, fuck travelling in an EV with Yahya Sinwar.

They can rig anything you own to explode if they want you bad enough.

you would need a communication device to the battery in your car which most cars would not have currently. With autonomous driving cars they will need to communicate with each other to drive so more comms devices would be needed. Security for these cars will have to be built well.

Israel had to intervene the devices at some point. And just in case, this is nothing new. I knew of an old case, probably from the 90s.
Israel was at war, and there was an enemy general they couldn’t capture. However, they discovered the general’s habits with his phone. So, and this is really amazing really, Israel got into the enemy camp, and they replace thw battery of the phone with a bomb.
When the general was about to make his usually morning call, his head blow up.

Same thing in mayor scale.
