    I take every single red pill at once and shutdown Amazon s3 services for 1500 seconds. That should be fun.

      better yet, take one pill every few minutes or so you fuck them over on and off for much longer. a 15 second outage probably takes a lot of systems serious recovery time and causes data loss

      better yet cut each pill into 7 or 8 pieces so you have 750 pills that shut it down for 2 seconds. take one every few minutes a couple dozen times a day for the next month until amazon goes bankrupt and many lines go down

        AWS is widespread enough that this would likely kill people. Medical solutions having AWS infra alone could do it.

          warn them. before taking your first pill, fly to russia and post a manifesto somewhere, saying you will shut down x major server at x time on x day, and then another server, and then another, until AWS continually as your ultimate goal. when all your threats come true, industries will take you seriously and be mostly prepared. you'll be like communist light yagami

            So your doctor writes you a prescription. How do you want the prescription to get to the pharmacy?

            • Carry it with you in person (excludes telehealth)
            • Fax (many pharmacies use this)
            • Internet (pharmacies are generally moving to this)

            Choose one

                  A network that is not connected to the internet (roughly speaking).

                  Pretty sure that intranets predate internet, and I worked as a systems administrator within such a network, so they do exist.

              Where I live it's both in person and over internet. I can show a QR code to my pharmacist and if I'm too old to know what a QR code is or if my phone is dead I can show the paper prescription or give them my ID
