They were provided from an Iranian supplier who added encryption hardware to them. These were not used by the wider public. Hezbollah has already announced that all but one of the fatalities were senior leaders. The one that wasn't was one of their daughters. Killed in the car her father was driving.

These were carried only and exclusively by active commanders of Hezbollah and their direct partners.

What's incredible to me is that this is basically guaranteed to only hit Hezbollah's command structure. 3000 hospitalized, and so far the only collateral damage is a handful of close relatives who were in cars that created as a result. That's biblical plague levels of precision strike capabilities.

For Hezbollah, this is putting over half their command staff out of the picture for a week. That's an incredible blow that will be hard for them to come back from. If Lebanon is smart, they'll use the opportunity to forcefully disarm Hezbollah.

Do you have a datasheet link for that chip? I get results for a different pager module when I include "AL-A25_6" and zero results with only "RA5794.1"

You must have read that wrong - this was clearly committed by Israeli super spy Moty Rola.

Seriously though - they were all from a single Iranian supplier, not Motorola (at least according to every source I can find)

Best I can get is figuring out a way to reuse some pins on the uc to isolate two or three caps to use as voltage pumps and then dump the whole thing at once into the battery.

I somehow suspect Electroboom is going to get a lot of new viewers in the next few days

tax incentives large cities are giving them to force their ppl back

I can understand some executive being out of touch and deciding that it's worth the personnel hit to do full RTO, but tax incentives would explain a lot more of it. Reading that made me irrationally angry for a moment - because that's super fucked

you can’t just go out on your yacht and have sex with twelve-year-olds to your heart’s content

Didn't L. Ron Hubbard do exactly that?

I mean he also had his cult infiltrate the FBI but still...

The indictment was sealed and details of the charges weren’t immediately announced by prosecutors, but the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, Damian Williams, confirmed in a statement that federal agents had Combs in custody.

“We expect to move to unseal the indictment in the morning and will have more to say at that time,” Williams said in a statement.

So it's all pure speculation for the next few hours - this could be for tax evasion for all we know.

EDIT: having read the full article now - I hope it includes tax evasion as well as everything else they describe. I knew he was a horrible person but holy fuck that's bad.

Hopefully everyone else watches the fallout of this and don't follow suit.

I'm surprised the insurance companies haven't forced companies to walk back their RTO policies. More sick days, more injuries, more medical expenses.

If you feel so strongly about it - do it. The likelihood of you being killed is pretty low compared to the amount of people you'd actually help by helping distribute food, etc. If it's too far away, then you can always start small - volunteer at your local food pantry, soup kitchen, etc.
