Hackers took down some Russian military sites, including the main one (.mil) subdomain and made them return the 418 I'm a Teapot error.

It has double meaning in Russian because чаиник (chaynik) - Russian for teapot is also slang for a fool, a newbie, inexperienced, dumb.

Hi, have you googled "smart kettle"?

They already exist. We're living in the future and/or a joke.

This and Russia turning the yellow arches sideways calling it Uncle Vanya make it feel like we've entered Los Santos.

The real nightmare would be if a coffee maker starts giving out HTTP 418
