It really is like a feudal system. There's a reason why the HBO series Succession is framed like the politics between a lord, his heirs, and his vassals.

Definitely not a Valve W though.
I have no idea how some people can worship a corporation so strongly.
Apologies for the Xitter link, but it looks like the main character Atsu is being portrayed by Erika Ishii.

Guessing this is why they changed the term "Apple ID" to "Apple Account"
I don't get it. I am trying to reverse push it with my palm but every time I move my hand back the door doesn't come with it.
Agreed
Not a battery but sure, that's what I was suggesting.
So what other kind of battery would a pager be using that might explode if not lithium? Hydrogen cell?
Definitely any of the showerthoughts communities
Exactly. I remember early days of smartphones before a lot of the safety precautions we have today were implemented, where we saw tons of videos of batteries spontaneously combusting. They expand, there's a pop, and then a small burst of flame that will ignite anything it touches, like your pants, tables they're sitting on while charging, etc. You can get pretty badly burned if this happens while it's in your pocket.
It's just that the videos that have come out of these pagers shows an actual explosion, as if they had been packed with C4. Enough to instantly kill some people with them on their person and harm adjacent passerbys.
Seems more like globalism is to blame. They were from a Taiwanese company but manufactured in Hungary.
Guessing the source of the pagers didn't matter at all and Israel probably intercepted a shipment to plant bombs in them themselves. Lithium batteries can ignite, but they don't just explode like that. There were bombs put in those pagers, be it by Israel or whoever else, coordinated as a targeted operation.
Hard to know if the patent is expired when they haven't even officially announced which ones they plan to bring forward in the suit.
The only info I was aware of so far is that there were multiple claims they were making.
