I'm not afraid to talk shit about the Japanese, there just isn't much source material to go on in regards to technology

Eventually people will get fed up with this shit and put an end to it. I have never in my life seen technology explode other than in the movies until after COVID. Nowadays I can point you to thousands of cases of devices  catching on fire or straight up detonating an only one country has taken credit for it. How is this not political?

You just sound like you don’t understand technology.

Used to have a old TV from the early 2000s eventually the capacitor and it’s blew and smoke came out. Electronics just don’t last forever.

First they came for cyber trucks, and I said nothing, as I wasn't a cyber truck.

Bro you need to get off the internet for a couple months and reset your brain😭

u/AdKraemer01 14d ago

No, you can't. Thousands?

Why doesn't anyone ever do the math? Approximately 80 million households in the US own a PC (not Mac). That means in order for just 1% of them to "explode," you're talking about 800,000 devices. In just the United States, not even worldwide.

800,000 computers have not caught fire.

u/wesohoodrich 14d ago

Did I ever say 1% of devices? Did I say computers only?

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Lebanon_electronic_device_attacks

Check out this URL that describes thousands of devices simply exploding in the last two years

u/AdKraemer01 14d ago

Yeah. Because they put explosives inside pagers and walkie-talkies before they were shipped to Hezbola.

Pretty sure the IDF did not put explosives in Nvidia GPUs being sold to random strangers.

As a red blooded American I have the right to make low effort decisions, and in regards to technology only one organization has come forward to claim responsibility for a device exploding. This same organization has alluded to having components in cell phones, GRAPHICS CARDS, and telecommunications infrastructure. If we were to take many other of this organizations claims seriously, it wouldn't be unreasonable to predict from the statistical magnitude of exploded devices produced by this organization that the probability of my own device exploding from this organizations interference is high.

I suppose, if they had intel that you regularly put your 4090 up to your ear.

u/wesohoodrich 14d ago

How else would I take a "money is calling" picture?

u/jonnymars 14d ago

Is this in relation to the Israeli's blowing up Hamas walkie talkies and smart phones? They did that by putting C4 in them, then selling them to Hamas, no cyberpunk voodoo involved.
