Not quite sure where this fits in in terms of posting it here, but here we go: Steam is now building a recording system into their client, which I think is pretty great, also, about damn time XD.

Just when things in the area couldn’t get worse or weirder. What an insane story. This is some next level scary shit.

I’m seeing reports say as many as 8 deaths and almost 3000 injured. Any ideas why the prevalence of so many pagers in use by Hezbollah members? Is it just simple lack of access to more advanced tech? Or because they don’t have GPS, they can’t be tracked like a mobile, have shorter ranges and are harder to intercept messages to? Or a combination of both? Either way, someone clearly figured out a way to isolate the pager numbers or something and seemingly managed to overload the circuits to the point of turning them into frikken personalised IEDs on the fly.

Pretty much this, more or less. I am hearing it is a new batch of pagers they just received lately, was a bulk order, so it might have even been happened in the supply chain.

I always dread seeing a notification of new posts in this thread. It’s never good news.

“Israel’s Mossad spy agency planted a small amount of explosives inside 5000 Taiwan-made pagers ordered by Lebanese group Hezbollah months before Tuesday’s detonations, a senior Lebanese security source and another source told Reuters.”

Diabolical.
