Out of the Blue [Jul 17, 2023, 11:58 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
I'm happy we're back to normal in the Blue Tower following yesterday's blackout.
Events like that are rough, but the timing could have been worse than falling on
a Sunday. What's frustrating is that I had enough battery power to work through
it, but it was impossible to connect to the internet. The power outage wasn't
widespread, but I suspect it took out our nearby cell tower. The outage did make
me aware that one of my PSUs needs a new battery, but other than that, there
wasn't much else I could do. So I'll get that replaced. Maybe I should get an
extra for that cell tower?
