US Government Urges Total Ban of Our Most Popular Wi-Fi Router
Cybersecurity experts say that all routers hold surveillance and data collection risks. Here’s how to protect yourself.

A possible ban on TP-Link routers — one of the most popular router brands in the US — is gaining momentum, as more than half a dozen federal departments and agencies back the proposal, according to a Washington Post report on Thursday.
The news first broke in December of last year, when The Wall Street Journal reported that investigators at the Departments of Commerce, Defense and Justice had all opened probes into the company due to national security risks stemming from its ties to China. (Learn how to protect yourself below.) Since then, news on the TP-Link front has been relatively quiet.
Now, the proposal has gained interagency approval.

After Bringing Down Internet, Amazon Announces Biggest Mass Firing in Its History
“Just yesterday I joked that it wouldn’t be the worst thing if I got laid off. I take it back.”
https://futurism.com/future-society/internet-aws-amazon-layoffs
Just a few days after taking out half of the world’s internet, Amazon is undergoing the biggest layoffs in the corporation’s 31 year history.
Reuters was the first to alert workers that the job cuts were expected to start Tuesday, affecting over 30,000 corporate roles. Sure enough, starting early Tuesday morning, thousands of workers for Amazon Web Services (AWS) — yes, the infrastructure-providing part of the company that brought down everything from Fortnite to Bored Ape NFTs when it failed spectacularly last week — began receiving texts and emails bearing the bad news.
Overall, 30,000 workers is just a drop in the bucket for Amazon’s workforce of 1.5 million of warehouse workers, drivers, and other blue collar roles. But as far as corporate employees go, that number accounts for a brutal 10 percent. Per sources who spoke to Reuters, the massive firing spree is a corrective measure meant to compensate for over-hiring during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“What we need to remember is that the world is changing quickly,” she continued. “This generation of AI is the most transformative technology we’ve seen since the Internet, and it’s enabling companies to innovate much faster than ever before (in existing market segments and altogether new ones).”

Tietoturvayhtiöltä karmiva löydös: ”Myrkytetty” internet uhkaa todellisuutta
Tutkijoiden mukaan tekoälypohjaisia selaimia myrkytetään valheellisella tiedolla. Tämä vääristää tekoälyjen antamia hakutuloksia ja johtaa käyttäjiä harhaan.

At the time of the brazen heist of $102 million in jewels from the Louvre last month, the password to the world-famous museum’s video surveillance system was simply “Louvre,” according to a museum employee with knowledge of the system.
