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?

Happiness is restoring the original context menu when you right click on Windows 11 with a registry hack.
Not just that, but removing functionality that existed in the old Control Panel entry or shotgunning that same functionality in to multiple, different subsections within Settings.

No go on the Dark Horizons Dolly link for me. Gives the page header "Your access to this site has been limited by the site owner" and lists further down as "Advanced blocking in effect."
Hope it helps.
And it worked!
Thx.

Never heard of a cell tower that didn't have backup power, both UPS and diesel.
Of course, I am not in the US so it might be different there, I still find it strange though

That cell tower should have a generator that keeps it powered in case of shore power failure. Every cell site I have been to has one.
