    Enjoy losing the electronics handheld market to the Chinese as everyone gets paranoid about Western smartphones. Will you still be laughing when this hack inevitably leaks and is used to harm you or your family. I’m a computer hacker and it’s looking more and more like these were done by hacking the devices and detonating the battery. But hey, at least you got to do a completely militarily impotent terrorism against a group fighting a genocide.

      The leading theory is a supply chain attack and that explosives were planted but you would know that if you could read, mr hacker

        No that’s not the leading theory outside the west. Regardless even if explosives were planted do you think that is going to make consumers feel better about buying western electronics after seeing how their intelligence agencies flagrantly break international laws. We have rules of war for a reason and you chuck fucks are about to find out why first hand when your tech sector takes a hit.

          No that’s not the leading theory outside the west.

          Completely irrelevant as reality doesn’t care where your fallacious claims are sourced from.

          Ahhh yes China, which is famous for its respect of human rights, will take over because consumer sentiment will shift. Very obvious.

          and you chuck fucks

          Full mask off huh, so which is your preferred flavour of dictators boot?

            How is calling you a chuckle fuck a “mask slipping” moment. How much of a marshmallow are you. Anyway yeah China does have a bad human rights record but the US has far and away the most prisoners of anyone in the world which they use as chattel slaves all while telling everyone their citizens have the most rights and freedoms haha.

              when your tech sector takes a hit.

              It was merely the start of the mask slipping, you have effectively admitted you aren’t from the West.

              So I ask again, what is your favourite flavour of dictators boot?

                You don’t have to be western to criticize it. Westerners criticize everyone else and make no fuss about it.

                  That’s true, however the user name would indicate a US based user and they comment consistently on US political issues.

                  They are either a very active foreign useful idiot or an astro turfer, though I am leaning towards them being a useful idiot due to their very mask off approach.

                    You are making wild assumptions, that say more about you then them. You being on world could imply you aren’t capable of considering nuance, but that would be incredibly rude to apply the instances standard on each member.

      All credible reporting I’ve seen is relatively certain that it was a small amount of military grade explosives.

      If you have the device in front of you, and are prepping it for your secret operation, that also seems like a much more straightforward solution than trying to manipulate a lithium ion battery in a way that both allows it to work normally for years, but then explode violently enough to kill someone holding it.

      The command might have been a hack but the physicality is just not something normal batteries are capable of producing.

      Oh right! I keep forgetting that Israel is “the west” and Palestine is not despite being geographically on top of each other. Someday I’m gonna have to figure out where exactly this “west” is so I know not to go there.
