Anyone have any electronics problems because of the solar flares?
Not joking ... friends have been complaining of Verizon DSL not working, etc. Just wondering whether it was the solar flares that were supposed to hit Tuesday and Wednesday.

1. I don't know
but we often blame electronic problems on solar flares. not that we ever know if they are happening or not.

2. I noticed a couple sudden momentary internet stoppages

which is a bit odd considering I use Verizon Fios. Possibly not related at all, and minor in any case. :shrug:

On edit: Sorry. Meant as a reply to the OP.

3. I asked this same question a few days ago, and people made fun of me!
I'm glad I'm not alone!

But to answer your OP, no problems this week, but we were having problems with Verizon last week. I think it's just Verizon being sucky.

7. C'mon now. You can't blame that on solar flares.
I imagine he does that all the time.
