Europol in a statement this week said the Dutch and German police had arrested a total of nine suspects over the course of an 18-month investigation that concluded earlier this week.

Netflix should cover bandwidth and maintenance costs of a surge in our network traffic, says South Korean ISP SK Broadband, which has taken legal action after subscribers flocked to watch the streaming giantβs latest Korean-language TV show Squid Game.
SK Broadband is unhappy that the flow of packets through its systems repeatedly spikes in size as more and more folks in South Korea fire up Netflix. Weβre talking 1.2Tbps of Netflix traffic alone through the ISP in September, a claim by SK reported by Reuters.

Reminded me of the pottery recording theory
http://kwc.org/mythbusters/2006/10/episode_62_killer_cable_snaps.html
Pottery Record (Archaeoacoustics)
Myth: Scientists have been able to play back sounds inadvertently recorded onto ancient pottery
Myth Variant: On an episode of CSI , the investigators are able to retrieve a recording from a piece of pottery at the crime scene.
This myth may be based on this blog post: A phonograpic phony. The post discredits a Belgian video clip that claims to have made recordings from 6500-year-old pottery.

Sounds good. Hope they check for nanofibers in the water, and their long term effects.

it does sound good! especially if it can be scaled to residential use (unlikely, but a guy can dream). living on an island with no source of reliable fresh water (rain catchment isnβt consistently reliable as a main source for garden and house) and with things rapidly deteriorating, how long can we truly rely on fresh water piped in from the mainland?
I am by no means an βend times prepperβ, but having a steady supply of filtered salt-free seawater would ease my mind a lot.

There are lots of people in the world who could use a working system now for drinking water, if it was cheap enough.
This might work, unlike those schemes which condense water out of the air, while ignoring thermodynamics. (Hey, I keep hoping someone will find a clever way to game the system, but thereβs no getting around that you have to dispose of a fuckton of energy to condense water.)
