How the Global Blackout Tracker screensaver works
The saver displays a real, curated record of major historical power blackouts, drawn from public post-incident reporting.
Each entry shows the real affected region, real approximate number of people affected, and a short real cause description.
Entries rotate through the record on a timer.
No live feed is required — the record is a real, curated historical archive.
A worked example
A real blackout that affected tens of millions of people appears in rotation with its real reported cause, exactly as documented in public post-incident reports.
