     also someone will overhype the absolute shit out of a bug that turns out to be a complete nothingburger. I'm gonna guess... something related to USB-C.

     Quantum computers will be able to factor a bigger number but it will still be small enough that you could validate the result on a $5 calculator. The tech press will claim it breaks AES.

     @gsuberland For this one to be true, they'd have to have factored any number at all already. AIUI they've only "factored" fixed inputs baked into the program tailored to the specific input, which isn't even computation at all. It's like saying printf("2,3"); factored 6.
