  3. New #undersea cable cutter risks Internet’s #backbone

    A #Chinese ship has tested a new device capable of slicing through #submarine data cables thousands of meters beneath the ocean surface. That demonstration may exacerbate #security concerns over a spate of suspected #sabotage incidents targeting undersea communications and power cables from the #BalticSea to the #PacificOcean.

  4. A quotation from Robert Banks Stewart

       HUCKLE: As far as we know, the sea was calm and empty.

  6. #Undersea cable investments double to $13 billion in 2yr — ever-growing danger of cable cuts looms
    Amount is double 2022-2024 spend, and much as you'd expect, it's driven primarily by #bigtech (Meta Amazon Microsoft Google). The report claims that existing cables already cover roughly 1M mi, and that number is getting larger every year. Paul Gabla from #Alcatel, the world's largest #underseacable maker and installer, remarks Big Tech companies made up about 50% of market

  7. #China Dives in on the World’s First Wind-Powered #Undersea #DataCenter
    Traditional #datacenters devote up to 50% of their energy consumption to air conditioning. #Underwater design reduces cooling energy demand to less than 10%. More than 95% of facility's #electricity comes from #offshorewind turbines in East China Sea. The project reduces land usage by more than 90% and eliminates the need for fresh water.

  12. A reminder that generative AI is not only gobbling jobs, fouling up apps and filling the Internet with slop but proving spectacularly successful in other roles such as engineering design:

    AI shapes autonomous underwater “gliders”

    An AI pipeline developed by CSAIL researchers enables unique hydrodynamic designs for bodyboard-sized vehicles that glide underwater and could help scientists gather marine data.

  16. Sabotage on the seabed: How can Europe protect itself?

    Several recent submarine data-cable breaks in the Baltic Sea have exposed the vulnerability of critical underwater infrastructure. Russia is suspected of having been involved in the damage.

    Europe is ill-prepared for such attacks in the future.
