How was this pulled off? Here are the theories From CNN’s Christian Edwards

Experts have shared two competing theories as to how hundreds of pagers could have exploded simultaneously.

One theory is that there was a cybersecurity breach, causing the pagers’ lithium batteries to overheat and detonate.

Another is that this was a “supply chain attack,” where the pagers were tampered with during the manufacturing and shipping process.

David Kennedy, a former US National Security Agency intelligence analyst, told CNN that the explosions seen in videos shared online appear to be “too large for this to be a remote and direct hack that would overload the pager and cause a lithium battery explosion.”

Kennedy said he found the second theory to be more plausible.

“It’s more likely that Israel had human operatives… in Hezbollah… The pagers would have been implanted with explosives and likely only to detonate when a certain message was received,” he said.

“The complexity needed to pull this off is incredible. It would have required many different intelligence components and execution. Human intelligence (HUMINT) would be the main method used to pull this off, along with intercepting the supply chain in order to make modifications to the pagers,” he added.

Only about four years after everybody else!

Yeah, we need electoral reform first 🙁

Thanks, that should do the job!

Took me a little while to find it as the brushes needed swiping to get the block on screen - it didn’t look like there were any extras.

This is nice! I’ve replaced some little tools with this. What it can’t seem to do though is pixelate a specified area of an image, unless I’ve missed how to do that? It only seems to do the whole image.

Not really. Only the odd thing on a brand’s app, which isn’t really comparable.

Home Assistant. I only installed it to help me control my solar/battery but I ended up putting other things on it and fell down a rabbit hole.

Ha ha, yeah, I forgot the photo would have needed to be taken!

Somebody’s been recording home movies!

Yes.

It looks a bit too defined to be a mountain peak, although it seems a logical suggestion. Anyway, I enjoyed this bit:

In July retired chef Richard Grieve said that he had worked with the two hikers who took the Calvine pictures at a hotel in Calvine, and that a few days after the sighting a “dark car” allegedly pulled up and two people dressed in black suits emerged, to have a “chat” with the two men.

He recalled that they were “visibly shaken” by the approach and their behaviour changed with them often not turning up for work and one began drinking heavily.

It’s a TRV head. You can unscrew it with the ring under the black area - may need an adjustable spanner to loosen. When you take it off, see if the rotation works and that the pin inside moves up and down. You can also check the metal pin/valve where it attaches isn’t stuck (it may need quite a bit of force to check - could need whacking with a hammer if it’s actually stuck). If everything seems OK, re-attach the head and see if it’s working. If it isn’t, new heads are cheap. What you have looks like what I have - cheap generic TRV heads, easy to find online.

I don’t think automatic crossposting is a good idea. However some way to “boost” Mastodon posts onto Lemmy would be good. Mbin has a way of boosting but can’t assign a magazine. Something like that may work though. Mastodon can already boost Lemmy posts.

3. Increase alarm reset difficulty. The more you have to conciously engage your brain to reset your room to sleep mode, the harder it will be for your brain to automate the snooze button. Put your phone across the room, use an app that continues to scream until you scan a QR code in another room or solve math problems, make a deal with your partner that they get to spray you with cold water unless you correctly answer these riddles three, anything. Make it difficult for your brain to remain in sleep mode when your alarm goes off.

To add to this, you can get alarm clocks that literally run away when they go off so you have to chase or find them, and others that have a bit of a puzzle to solve to switch them off (I suspect there are phone apps that also have the latter, but I’ve never looked for them)

Upvoted for NetSurf. I wrote the Amiga frontend for it, and as such it’s my favourite browser on that platform (OS4 anyway - the OS3 build is very unstable)
