25 10440 batteries ordered... hopefully I don't cause any of them to explode or burn 😬 Ordered them from https://liionwholesale.com/ which is a good place to buy batteries according to flashlight nerds.

All this talk about software supply chain attacks but hardware supply chain attacks are orders of magnitude more terrifying now

Between these exploding pagers and suicide drones, it's a terrifying tech dystopia we live in now

Hardware being intercepted along the supply chain and rigged with explosives is especially terrifying considering the increasing trend towards devices with non-replaceable batteries and cases sealed with glue that can't easily be opened and inspected.

Wearing a mask is not a big deal. Not wearing a mask is a big deal.

Until a year or so ago, I thought that wearing an N95 was a big deal because my experience with N95s was extremely uncomfortable hard shell masks provided by an institution that I couldn't tolerate wearing for more than 20-30 minutes. It is a massive failure of public health education that I did not know that comfortable N95s exist and they cost less than a dollar each so long as you don't buy a tiny 3 pack at Walgreens.

The system is much more fragile than it appears.

Organized sabotage by tech workers could take down capitalists astonishingly quickly. By all signs, this incident wasn't even intentional.

I wonder how much damage CrowdStrike has done to the IDF.

I don't think this is what the CEO of CrowdStrike intended with "disruption", but the world would be a better place if this was what tech CEOs meant by "disruption".

The CrowdStrike outage seems to have disrupted the IDF bombing of Gaza today.

CrowdStrike has done more to reduce global CO2 emissions than any international climate change agreement.

Congratulations to CrowdStrike for reducing global CO2 emissions
