The year is 2034. USB-C’s successor has been extended to carry up to 5000 W, and is the standard connector for all devices. Your power company is also your ISP, and the unified power and data connector lets all your appliances regulate their power usage according to the current load on the grid; it also means they can’t be disconnected from the internet (they’ll refuse to work if you try). Your lightbulb is DDoSing Wikipedia and your toaster mines bitcoins.

“Check if your machine is affected: run xz --version and see if it returns 5.6.0 or 5.6.1.”
counterpoint: maybe *don’t* run the possibly malicious binary whose backdoor has barely been analyzed yet??
if you don’t know how to get the installed version out of your package manager, go look that up instead. it’ll also be useful in general :)
