So if all computers ever made are were used and you added every PC fresh off the line to the brute force attack, you could calculate a single AES-256 key in just 100 years?! Better switch to 512-bit just to be sure.

I'm actually surprised how much the data still supports the old 1996 study that said 90-bits is necessary +2/3 bits per year to maintain strength. It's less than a decade for anything under 100bits, which is kinda the generally secure duration if I remember correctly.
