(...) the internet went down across the country. A wave of cyberattacks left all systems on hold for more than seven days. First, the main national websites failed, from the official news site to the booking page of the national airline. Then, the Asian state’s connections with the rest of the world were interrupted. Emails could not be sent or received; there was no connection to cloud services. The blockade was complete.

Note the vote was withdrawn, not actually voted against. They're pushing this for a later date because there was no majority.

“The EU Council did not make a decision on chat control today, as the agenda item was removed due to the lack of a majority, (...)

Belgium’s draft law, (...) was instead postponed indefinitely. (...) Belgium cannot currently present a proposal that would gain a majority. In July, the Council Presidency will transfer from Belgium to Hungary, which has stated its intention to advance negotiations on chat control as part of its work program.

I've been drinking a lot of coffee lattely and I don't even like coffee. It's just that I add a lot of milk to it so it tastes kind of decent.

I'm on my way to my fifth ~~cup~~ mug today.

I've also recently developed an inability to fall asleep at night as quickly as I used to. I should probably go back to tea but every time I try I hear the coffee jar whispering in my ear "come to me or you'll regret it" and since I'm not a confrontational individual I kind of just go with it.

Ah, so it's kind of like EncroChat! 🤔

The day I'm forced to watch YouTube ads is the day I'll stop using it.

Google uses tax avoidance schemes and I use ad avoidance schemes.

Bad title.

Powerful people abusing their position to take advantage of others is, sadly, not unusual.

As far as we know we could have a lot in common with elephants.

In older models the speedometer and the tachometer were analogue but new Volvos have them digital so more likely to be affected by software bugs even when the separation exists.

I don't actually know how the analogue versions work or if they could still be affected by software bugs in the onboard computer. UI wise probably sturdier than digital I suspect.

Maybe in the future it can be used by managers to keep an eye on what their underlings are doing at all times. I suggest calling the manager's remote version Microsoft Panopticon.

The headline. 🤨

The one hacked was Santander, not its staff and 30 million of its customers.
