INTERNET LOCKDOWN.
Bigger than COVID. And it already had a test run.
Last week 7 European governments pulled their own websites OFFLINE.
The UK took 32 services down.
Canada, Australia, Kenya, Nepal: sites off too.
The reason: one flaw in the code behind about 70% of the web. Found with AI.
Now the attackers have AI too.
South Korea: 9 banks hit.
Japan: about 80 firms attacked with an AI bot.
A US hospital group unplugged its own systems.
And Iran showed the endgame:
the whole internet, OFF, for 88 days.
When an attack takes minutes, unplugging is the fastest defence.
17 countries are already on this map.
Save this and see how long the list is a month from now.

When I created Raspbian for the Raspberry Pi, I was excited to help bring low-cost compute into the hands of a next generation of tinkerers and programmers.
However, I now despair that a Raspberry Pi can cost upwards of $300 because AI shortages are making personal computing unaffordable. Furthermore, bright young people are being discouraged from learning programming because they are being told it is now a commodity skill that AI will do.
I have to ask myself what it was all for. Is this the future we were promised? If so, I'm starting to regret my part in it.

Well, these guys created a utility I've always wanted to write.
It tells you all that you need to know about your USB cable, namely, how fast it is, how much power it can supply, and what's attached on the other end.

Revive la alegría de conectarte a internet con un módem de 56k
56k.rip simula en el navegador la experiencia completa de conectarse a internet en 1996: un escritorio con Acceso telefónico a redes, el clic de descolgar, los tonos de marcado, veinte segundos de negociación y una página que llega bloque a bloque.
La conexión está simulada de verdad: elige 14.4, 28.8 o 56k y la misma página tarda más en la línea lenta, porque cada página se sirve con un presupuesto de bytes al ritmo marcado. Las fotos se van definiendo línea a línea, las descargas fallan y alguien descuelga el teléfono y se corta la llamada
