Try it some time and see what happens. People will swear at you/threaten you and tell you to mind your own business. I speak from experience.

I'm glad to hear that. ..Driving from Phoenix to Los Angeles it would be good to buy gas in the middle of nowhere on the way.
Apparently the gas problem should not affect California. I had no trouble buying gas in Phoenix although price is suddenly shot up to over three dollars a gallon. Last edited by tbike4; 05-15-2021 at 10:43 AM. |

Get up from your couch right now, unplug your router, and tell your family that it won't go on again for five months. Report back. They are easily and remotely accessed. Especially with the trend towards work-from-home, imagine if 20% of America and businesses suddenly had their routers bricked. Or 70%. All the models at Best Buy would have the same problems, there would be no inventory to buy, it would take months or even a year to fix and then ramp up production to produce them and get them to customers. Economy crashed, people pissed off, can't watch tv, can't work, etc. People would switch to cellular internet connections and then overwhelm that system too. The gov't officials will act surprised but this has been a topic in computing for years. There was even a conference called the SOHOpelessly Broken Conference -- in 2014. |

This past week was my annual Henry David Thoreau week. Took my glamper off grid with plenty of beer, food and no internet and came back to this
Maybe "they" just need to turn off the internet for like a week or something. We're idiots |

Thanks but....
I don't "plug in" much to begin with. Enough hours a day in front of computer for day job. |

I wasn't trying to suggest any comparative degree of vulnerability but I have been without power for weeks more than once and without heat for 3 weeks in winter. Loss over power trumps internet access for me. Not even close. |
