No kidding. Is this not some kind of war crime?
Yes, indiscriminate bombing is a war crime.
Thought sabotaging enemy equipment to explode isn’t.
Had this been a bunch of Russian or Wagner Group radio equipment exploding because they had been rigged by Ukraine, it wouldn’t be a war crime - combatants don’t stop being valid targets even if they are on leave and are at fault of endangering the civil population, possibly themselves causing a war crime by effectively using civilians as human shields in the process.A pager isn’t “enemy equipment” in the same way a missile or a gun is. There were literally cell phone stores exploding in Lebanon. A 9-year-old girl died. This is 100% a fucking war crime. If someone kills a member of your family do you get to booby-trap the stove in their house so the kids get their faces melted off?
I would think involving civilians usually is. Not like it’s a first for them.
It should be if it isn’t.
When I first read this, I was kind of hoping it was in shower thoughts.
It is a shower thought, just by a profilic tech celebrity.
cant wait for the next post, ‘water is wet’
so much insight
Not sure if sarcasm, but the article is actually super insightful into a few different methods bad actors could use to accomplish the same feat (short of giving them a formula, from what I can read, but I’m not a battery maker)
This article spent more time explaining the logistics on building pager-bombs than it did actually explaining why building pager-bombs is a bad idea.
