Question: what's the possibility of doing this with non-tampered with modern mobile phones?

Many phones today have a 5000mah battery, which I'm assuming could be triggered to overheat via a malicious app or webpage. Imagine this being used on a grand scale.

New comment by ilikeitdark in "Barcelona will eliminate tourist apartments"

I've been living in Barcelona for a long time. The mayor is very, very cozy with the hotel industry, which is very much effected by tourist apartments and Airbnb. And he will most likely be out of power in 3 years, so won't actually have to see this through and is just doing this to make himself look good with the many citizens who believe we have too many tourist.

I had an very active artist page as a musician in several bands and projects for years. Many videos and photos and posters that I stupidly either didn't back up anywhere else, or it was scattered amongst other pages or hard drives. One day, woke up and it was all gone, the page was not there or any trace of it. I tried to find out what happened and never could and eventually gave up.

The big question is....whose going to play Elon Musk in the true-to-life film version, about the slow downfall of the man who wanted to be king of everything, but ended up a nothing as part of a musical duo with Kanye West, with a Reno casino resort residency.

ilikeitdark — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 16:57:39 +0000

When I moved here to Barcelona, it seemed like many "squats" were punk and artist taking over unused or abandoned large spaces. Many we even open to the public and had events, and some were even part of the local community. Nowadays it's more often drug addicts and criminals and mafias taking over uninhibited homes (even when people are on vacation), who terrorize the neighborhoods.

That was one of the coolest sites ever, the other one being where you could make virtual mixtapes and send them to people. We can't have nice stuff anymore....

Microsoft...screwed up my relationship with my HP printer. Two of them.

And don't get me started on that malware Onedrive or the constantly shitified Teams.

We have had quite a few "unexplained" electric and hybrid bus fires here in Barcelona the last few years.
