POWER EFFIN’ OUTAGE!!! Electricity came back after ~10 min like… no beggie BUT, Internet stayed out for like 2 more hrs 😅
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com power outages happen here almost every single time strong storms pass by, I know the feeling mate. It truly sucks.
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Oh, shoot! The broken rows are permanent? Looks like you’re the king of power outages. :-( How frequent do you experience blackouts?
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com didn’t know there was a place to fix them; in here we toss them. Wish it was cheap to ship stuff. I have a couple of decent monitors in the garage that will soon take a trip to the curve…
@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Hmmm, so it is permanent damage. Damn! :-( I’m no electronics guy, but I’d suspect it to be broken, if unplugging it and plugging it in again doesn’t fix it. Kinda doubt that a repair shop will get it going again. I have no idea where I would bring it over here. The best I can think of is to ask the volunteers at the repair café if they have any suggestions, I reckon they’re not able to fix it either. But that place is only open once a month.
How much of your screen is gone by now? Looks like a lot.
Wow, crazy. A decade ago, I think I only experienced power outages three or maybe four times in my entire life. Since then, they became a bit more frequent. Probably five or six, maybe more. Not sure how many of these events are attributed to construction incidents, where an excavator ripped a power line apart. Last time, loggers threw a tree in an overhead power line, so the power company had to disconnect my area from the grid.
