Do be concerned about the massive solar storm
4 years ago
General
So apparently, solar winds, or solar flare, are blowing at Earth constantly. Normally it only causes things like Northen lights.
What about it heh? So studies has detected and predicted a solar storm, extraordinary strong solar flares. The problem is that this one is super strong, enough to disable literally every electronics on Earth. It's said to appears around 26th of September, which is today. But it's most likely tomorrow for most of you guys.
Oh, I don't mean to be threatening, but I can catch glimpses of my lights flickering briefly. Maybe they're getting old, or something worse, who knows.
Regardless, the chances of worst case scenario of global Internet shut down is as low as 1%. Yeah that's low, but DEFINITELY not zero.
If you're lucky, it may only cause auroras in regions where they normally shouldn't exist. If not however, you may have to get used to... not using the Internet for quite a while.
P.S. You can somewhat protect your devices by wrapping them completely in aluminum foil. Maybe better protection if you put them in a completely concealed container after.
