Internet connectivity down in Iran as airstrikes hit the country.

Traffic volume dropped at 07:06 UTC and then again at 11:47 UTC with minimal connectivity remaining.

The country had a partial restoration since Jan-27 following a complete shutdown in Jan-8.

Whoops, I missed my chance to make the “640% should be enough for everybody” joke. But it’s obviously not enough because the PicoIDE campaign keeps going. 6 days left! I’m blown away by how far it’s come. BTW the last update I posted brought even more people with weird systems out of the woodwork!

I'm buying a kitchen and they sent a sample of the marble counter top with a metal ball showing what the sink will be like. Now my desk looks like a 90s 3D rendering tool demo image.
