They haven’t been involved with that for years and it’s open source so it’s as likely to have a backdoor as any other part of the code.

Next to none. You’re just spreading FUD.

That’s Linus for you. He’s extremely misanthropic. This isn’t his first PR fuck up. Except this time his abrasiveness triggered an international incident.

Well it’s open source so you can check.

Meh, if they really leave this will prompt the US government or corps to finally start paying these developers. This flare up is a blessing in disguise.

Reports of batteries in the past exploding were unintentional. So if one were purposely causing the batteries to explode then it’s logical that you could make it a lot more potent.

The idea that it was a hack is more prevalent outside the west. No doubt because western intelligence is trying to stop the story of any electronic made by them being a potential bomb under their control.

How is calling you a chuckle fuck a “mask slipping” moment. How much of a marshmallow are you. Anyway yeah China does have a bad human rights record but the US has far and away the most prisoners of anyone in the world which they use as chattel slaves all while telling everyone their citizens have the most rights and freedoms haha.

You are a delusional Zionist if you think Israel is anything but a US proxy.

Okay boomer. Computer security isn’t some underground scene anymore. It’s a huge industry. Saying your a computer hacker is like calling yourself an accountant now. So unbelievable!

No that’s not the leading theory outside the west. Regardless even if explosives were planted do you think that is going to make consumers feel better about buying western electronics after seeing how their intelligence agencies flagrantly break international laws. We have rules of war for a reason and you chuck fucks are about to find out why first hand when your tech sector takes a hit.

Very cute but there are reports of people analyzing the pagers and not finding any evidence of explosives. This is a developing story so maybe this will come to not but your incredulity doesn’t change these facts in the ground.

There’s emerging evidence that it wasn’t explosives and might have been the battery. And there’s certainly been reports of exploding batteries injuring people to similar degrees.

Regardless I think this is going to effect western made electronics sales and be an attack methodology that’s leaked and used against Americans forcing them to actually pay attention to Israel.

You guys won’t be laughing when nobody buys iPhones anymore and your 401ks tank.

They’re going to lose. It’s only in the style of Pokemon. I know a handful of them look really similar but you can’t copyright cartoon dragons.

Enjoy losing the electronics handheld market to the Chinese as everyone gets paranoid about Western smartphones. Will you still be laughing when this hack inevitably leaks and is used to harm you or your family. I’m a computer hacker and it’s looking more and more like these were done by hacking the devices and detonating the battery. But hey, at least you got to do a completely militarily impotent terrorism against a group fighting a genocide.

Don’t forget all those Hamas nurses and doctors. Totally not indiscriminate terrorism against civilians. Israel never does that!

Yeah, we sure showed that 10 year old!

It’s proving that POSIX architecture is necessary even if it requires additional computer literacy on the part of users and admins.

The risk of hacking (which is what Crowdstrike essentially does to get so deeply embedded and be so effective at endpoint protection) a monolithic system like Windows OS is if you screw up the whole thing comes tumbling down.

This Rhino must be talking to liberals.

You’re just arguing semantics like a pedantic dweeb. In not sure how proving Gen X and Boomers are less educated than millennials disproves my point about them being the most ignorant.

Everything you’ve said just amounts to “nuh uh”. I’ve posted several stats showing Boomers have less education, and have the most real estate. You’ve yet to produce one single fact. But you sure caught that one typo, bravo.

And you make up you’re own definitions like with Reagan. I KNOW Gen X couldn’t have voted for Regan. But many of them did vote for Bush Sr., Clinton, Bush Jr. and a slew of reactionary politician at every level of government.

Cope as much as you like but THE PAST IS PROLOGUE. While millennials bare some responsibility many of today’s societal ills can be traced back to decisions made before their time.

And we CONTINUE see these reactionary politics from Boomers and Gen X. The average age of a Republican is 55. Squarely in the age range of Boomers and Gen X.

TL;DR Refute what I said with FACTS are shut up.
