Okay. Thanks. Good.

ummm, should I do something? Do I need to protect my computer? And my other digitals? If yes, how/what? When?



Teach you to post something scary. I'll panic and ask you 150 questions.

That's only six. Where's the other 144?

Yea don't know. I don't see  any reports of problems .

 Based on the article I thought we would be already deep into the solarpocolyspe

Yes always...a good surge suppressor is useful for power issues. A power surge is the most likely threat. This threat is present every day.

A video of the allision. You can see the lights on the ship go dark twice. You can also see some really lucky person cross immediately before the allision.

So you are speculating the ship lost power due solar storm?

No I posted this in the wrong thread due to a personal, acute coffee deficiency.

Because of the solar storm .  ( For Gods sake, I posted this in dice and nothing happening. Throw me a  rope )

[Raptor]

Yes due to the solar storm I was late getting my  coffee.
This lead to the mispost.
A chain of events cascading to the present post.

Solar storms are tricky that way.

Yes always...a good surge suppressor is useful for power issues. A power surge is the most likely threat. This threat is present every day.

Just wanted to amplify this.  Your electronics should be plugged into a surge protector. 

My favorites are:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000J2EN4S/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00966IFQ0/
Both of these models have proved their worth, one successfully protecting from a fire and one protected my computer from a surge when another computer plugged directly into a wall receptacle got fried.  I have a lot of trust for these.

I also use these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JE9LD4/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0919MB47N/

All of these come with a guarantee that covers your devices to a certain amount should the surge protector fail to perform and you lose equipment.  Always choose one from a trusted brand that offers to cover lost equipment in case of failure.  I've never had to request payment on that guarantee.  Everything in my house is plugged in to one of these surge protectors save for a single nightlight.

Great post thank you! These are excellent examples of a quality surge suppressor.

One thing to remember about surge suppressor is that after an event the protection elements can get fried and stop protecting the equipment. Some surge suppressors indicate this with a light (like these) others will stop functioning altogether and immediately and permanently turn off the power (this is preferable for very expensive gear since it protects your equipment if there are multiple surges within an event) and others give no warning at all.

Obviously cost is always important. However you need to weigh the cost/capability ratio to the cost and importance of the equipment being protected.

So do read the specs and chose accordingly. I have seen garbage selling at about the same cost as quality suppressors.
