That's a ridiculous way to define "your electronics". The original commenter was trying to fear monger with incorrect information, and you are jumping to protect them. I didn't realise the grid owners had astroturfers in the fediverse.

...are you okay? You seem primed and ready to correct and attack people. Chill out, man.

I'm primed to correct FUD. If that means I'm not OK so be it. Love the textbook ad hominem by the way. That's a classic that never goes out of style.

Sounds like somebody's jimmies got rustled.

I read it more as "your personal electronics won't enjoy the brownouts and blackouts from having shitty frequency stability on the grid" more so than "your personal electronics will directly suffer from frequency instability," but maybe I read it with subtext because I'm literally studying power systems right now.

So are you studying to protect the ghouls or fix them?

I'm not remotely worried. I know the IBEW will protect me.
