$24k has to be for the year.
My entire four-year degree at UBC was less than $20k, that was in 2010.

Yeah, should be for the year.
I dated an international student 10 years ago and her tuition was like $8000 a semester.

Well with the way I talk you shouldn’t be surprised. I think their monocles dropped when I opened my mouth at Stanford. They thought I came from Oakland. They weren’t that far off.

Jury's still out as to the primary cause. Was it a software attack to overload the lithium battery, or were the devices rigged with hidden explosives?

if it's possible with cell phones, depending on the tech, what's stopping them from using it on EV's, don't they have GPS/cell etc in their infotainment / tech systems as well?

They felt pagers were safer due to tracking purposes as opposed to smart phones.
It's not known whether Mossad was able to infiltrate their pager supply network and add small explosives into the devices, or that there's some way to utilize malware to superheat the batteries to cause such an explosion.
I think the former, it would be nuts that you can create an explosion like that simply from a small battery.

It's not just hezzbollah using pagers, emergency services use it too, even in Europe, because it's cheap and more reliable, especially in emergency situations since cell networks would be overloaded
Lebanon is a population mix of insanely wealthy and poverty stricken, and those in poverty use pagers for work too
Hence the wide range in population from the injured and deceased (edlery, children, etc)
The injuries look like lithium battery pack explosions that china had a crisis of years ago, but pagers have even smaller batteries than power banks, so I imagine Israel got into the manufacturing supply rather than using malware to explode the pagers

Dunno about you but the last time I used a pager, it was either a AA or AAA battery. No point in having a rechargeable battery in it because a single AA can keep it going for a month.
For an explosion to happen, you need a pressure vessel to build up pressure. Batteries are built to vent if they overheat. I guess the pager housing can hold some pressure but it's full of holes and probably held together with 2 screws.
Something else had to have been in the pager for it to explode.

I don't have skin in the game here, but how is Israel given runway to do this kind of stuff?
If Iran conducted this type of operation, the world would've considered this a terrorist attack, yet Israel can indiscriminately blow up thousands of pagers (without even knowing who is holding the pager, and is currently in presence with that individual)?
It's stuff like this that give credence to people being against Israel, they seem to always be the aggressors here, using their tech to beta test their latest and greatest murder machines on innocents.
