i think there's a defcon talk from a decade ago about what it would actually take to have a "self-destruct button" like in movies just for some servers or hard drives and i don't think any capitalist would justify the expense when they can have somebody else pay for aerial bombardment or some shit.
Sure, absolutely. But, otoh, if it's the US Military behind it, then money's no object. My initial thought on something like a self destruct would be that if I could use it so could my enemies... But, that was also my concern about massive data collection and surveillance states, and that didn't stop them so...😅🤷♂️
Edit: but yeah aerial bombardment is what I would expect.
Sort of, there's a lot that can go wrong with long term self-destruct systems that mean that it's unrealistically expensive or a huge risk to the thing you're trying to "protect".
They were.....ahhhh...they were 'weakened' by the previous earthquake. All those mini flashes and free fall you saw on video was just coincidential office fires that ravaged the building from another seperate event. Oh and the recent new owner that took out comically massive insurance policies on the building with a very unusual terrorism, war, and acts of God exception clause was purely coincidential.
The factories the US will bomb at the first sign of Taiwan uniting with the mainland? Those factories?
I heard that they literally have bombs in the buildings already that can be set off. Not sure how true.
Probably not true at all.
I don't know that I'd believe that, but it also wouldn't surprise me.
