>mfw blackout happens in the middle of gaming but I saved 2 minutes ago and all my valuable electronics are plugged into surge protectors
Seen too many friends lose expensive electronics from a sudden power outage or thunderstorm. Anything else one should do to prevent getting fried?

I have a surge protector and I still shut my PC off during really awful storms cuz I'm afraid it'll get fucked.
Carter Howard
get an electrician to check your fuses every 6 months. Claim "fire safety" if you need to convince people to let it happen.
Josiah Flores
literally lost 5-6 hours of progression at least on the Sunday after Elden Ring was released because the power going out reset the game back to when I had started that afternoon
Isaac Mitchell
I have surge protection, but still unplug all my electronics.

Get ready for more. 2026 is really gonna amp this shit up. If you don't have a way to get solar power for yourself I'd start investing into it sooner rather than later.

Jordan Johnson
This happened to me right at the end of Great Bays dungeon in Majora's Mask and I put the game down for ten years when I realized I had to redo the entire egg quest
Carter Watson
I do, it’s really as bad as they say. If it becomes overcast and slightly windy we get power fluctuations. And I live in Houston not some BFE bullshit.
im moving soon and I can’t fucking wait to get out of this shithole
Hudson Clark
My internet connection was out for 7 hours today.
Jason Allen

Wyatt Allen
Time to buy a UPS.
Ayden Brown
>blackout happens in the middle of a bios flash
Blake Martinez
That is not that bad and its easy to recover, a USB flasher with clamps is around $10.
Grab flash file from motherboard site.
Load it on the flasher program.
"Flash and verify".
Wait 5 minutes.
Done.
