Your citations aren’t relevant . Link dumping nonsense isn’t an argument. This attack was done through hardware manipulation, not merely software on otherwise normal hardware. Nothing you said even begins to refute that. There are millions of videos of Lithium Ion battery thermal runaway and none of them look anything like the videos of these pagers exploding. You’re just wrong. Take the L bruh.

Nothing you say will make a lithium ion battery into a high explosive. There is no combination of words you can say that will make that true.

By setting the battery gauge level-high to an invalid selection that is also greater than the low level it creates a bridge between the anode and cathode, resulting in thermal runaway which will in fact cause the battery to overload and explode due to the increased temperatures.

First part of this is gibberish. Second part is just describing a short of the battery, which will destroy it, but is completely inconsistent with video footage which shows small high explosive charges going off. That is not how battery shorts happen. This was not done in software, there were actually explosives installed in the devices as reports are starting to now state. But you know, good job on the sheer volume of words you wrote.

Just so you know, we can tell you don’t know what any of that means.

It has about the same capabilities as a normal phone , is better in a a few niche uses, but is much more fragile and costs double. What, are you not sold?

Probably this : https://preview.redd.it/l9eexuk64i171.jpg?auto=webp&s=2f23230fda40847fd64db002f7319b9b5b6d8009

Because most Americans support it.

This empty-brained chud will 100 percent vote for Trump in November.

Why are you like this

Yes

Take your meds.

The wise thing is to not offer perpetual licenses in the first place. You can’t predict the state of your business in 10 years let alone beyond that. Why make commitments that? Marketing of course. So if they’re going to raise capital that way (by one-time revenue from sales of perpetual licenses) then they can’t just decide that perpetual doesn’t mean perpetual anymore. All in all this will come down to a legal duel between expensive legal teams.

Some people are able to understand context.

Given the state of Xitter, I would argue that his control of Starlink is significantly more dangerous.

You couldn’t even refute those idiotic points properly.

My brother in Christ, they invented paper, fireworks, and the compass.

True. And irrelevant.

Because they developed more efficient engineering techniques and more advanced methods of industrial scale production. In the same way Japan ate the American auto industry’s lunch during the 80s and 90s by investing heavily in industry and education, China is flooding the zone with talented professionals and capital improvement projects.

And because the Chinese government is heavily subsidizing their auto industry in order to gain market share works wide. Pros for us: if we can buy these cars, the Chinese government is essentially subsidizing them for our consumers. Cons for us: without equivalent subsidies domestic car companies can’t possibly compete. There are genuine issues of trade fairness in play here.

The Chinese middle class is the largest in the world.

Relevant only if the Chinese middle class is who is working in those car factories. Is that the case?

I’m not even saying the tarrifs are good or bad. If they’re explicitly time boxed and our governments are able to stick to that deal, then they could be good. But in general tarrifs on EVs during a climate crisis driven by carbon emissions is explicitly counterproductive.

It seems to me, all the bag holders should have grounds to sue them, I’m sure atleast a few of them will.

Sure but they’ll have to balance that probably legitimate cause if action with the fact that they’ll likely get death threats from cult members for filing the suit.

Because they make it easy and do a few cool things.

“Do you want a mic in your home that can record everything you say and do and send that data off to wherever the company chooses?”

“No of course not.”

“What about of it will also turn your lights on and off and play despacito on demand?”

“You son of a bitch, sign me up”.

I know it isn’t like this in the books but if you killed every single orc and glassed Mordor, and Sauron doesn’t have a body and can’t retake one without the ring…what’s he going to do? Turn his shitty eye and shoot bad vibes at your forever? Just don’t live near him (you glassed it anyways ). Pretty funny to think of Sauron still alive but utterly impotent because all his servants are dead and he’s still disembodied.

They’re not being actively held hostage in that there’s no giant prison with all their families in it.

They are being held hostage because of the implication. The whereabouts of their family is well known so are they going to toe the line? Of course, because of the implication.

Could there be patterns in ciphers? Sure. But modern cryptography is designed specifically against this. Specifically, it’s designed against there being patterns like the one you said. Modern cryptographic algos that are considered good all have the Avalanche effect baked in as a basic design requirement:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche_effect

Basically, using the same encryption key if you change one character in the input text, the cipher will be completely different . That doesn’t mean there couldn’t possibly be patterns like the one you described, but it makes it very unlikely.

More to your point, given the number of people playing with LLMs these days, I doubt LLMs have any special ability to find whatever minute, intentionally obfuscated patterns may exist. We would have heard about it by now. Or…maybe we just don’t know about it. But I think the odds are really low .
