Abyobe else have phone / electronic problems last night?

All my phones / iPads lost service.. (no big deal).

Then they wouldn’t connect to WiFi.. (get tin foil hat out)

Than laptop won’t connect to WiFi.. (put tin foil hat on, walk out back and overlook city to see if anything’s going on)

Now remember a WiFi network doesn’t have to internet to connect a router to a device.. (thinking electronic jammer possibly?)

Than laptop won’t connect to internet with Ethernet cable (tin foil hat is officially on).

Anyhow long story short it ended with us going to bed after all the magazines were loaded, and Ammo packed into travel box, etc.. lol.

Made me realize that we are a little under prepared if we have to bolt in a hurry.. So I’m gonna be fixing that here shortly with water / food / fuel / more ammo etc..


Anyhow before chasing down that rabbit hole.. Anyone else have electronic problems last night? Or did I somehow make it onto some three letter government agencies list?

No but I did wake up in the middle of the night and thought my fan was that little rodent from Guardians Of The Galaxy and had to stare at for about 20 seconds to realize it was my fan.

Wasn’t the internet that bothered me.. lol.
Well, my power went out for about 2 hours yesterday, also discovered my neighbor, ( yes the guy with the inconsiderate ex girlfriend) well,... he tells me that he believes that the government is controlling the weather. So theres that I guess.....


Strange times we live in my friend...

Strange times indeed..

They are taking down all the repeaters in California.. lol.

Makes virtually zero sense.. ??

Really? I was unaware of that..

I never got into it but have some fellow gun friends that did. There’s a running thread on Ar15.com about the Chinese Baofong Ham radios on amazon. I guess uncle government is trying to shut down access to cheap Ham radios.

There are a couple of sites I see as I drive up to lake Bartlett here in Phx area. The big ass antenna is a dead giveaway but most people these days are too stupid to know what they are looking at.

Havasu, Like N Scottsdale is a bug in location. Comms, Rule of law, fire power & provisions are the name of the game. No reason to leave. Text me if you want some recommendations.

Maybe ‘they’ thought you visited Area 51 with that group and now ‘they’ are killing your devices.

‘I want to believe’

This, ham radio will never go away, It never hurts to have a license, or even a GMRS license with a repeater, your entire family will fall under a GMRS license

Had issues with all our phones yesterday but it was due to the updates from Apple as it affected settings, etc.

This was total blackout.. phones I pads / old phones / laptop / tv etc..

Hell my Sirius in my truck actually reloaded this morning when I took the kids to school as well!

The phones and I pads just didn’t show anything from about 12:00 to 4:00 am. What struck me bizarre was when the phones and computers wouldn’t even connect to a router. They should be able to get on a network even if the network doesn’t have access to the internet etc..

Who knows.. who cares..

In all seriousness though, that’s how it happens.
In the old days you’d notice your phone was dead, then no power but your nieghbors lights would be on.
Better to err on the side of caution.

Was having breakfast with a friend last weekend, he told me he bought a bedroom set from Ashley furniture. Now almost all of my Facebook and YouTube advertisements are now Ashley furniture.
