Why do versions of Y2K keep happening?!🤔
In 2014, the internet faced a critical breaking point that most people have never heard of - The 512K Day Crisis. But what exactly made this day so important?
See, the internet works through routers that keep a special memory table of all possible paths to send data - like a massive address book. But in the 1990s, router manufacturers set a hard memory limit of 512K entries, thinking we’d never need more than that. This caused a massive problem when the internet grew beyond what anyone expected.
