Wifi being down is just a minor inconvenience for tech oriented people. Spare some lives and just contact your local geek/nerd.

Internet down? That’s ok I have stuff on my jellyfin.

I even have a plan when there are power outages. The hard drive that contains most of the media I collected over the years is external. In case of power outage I can power it with a power bank and a USB-C PD to 12v adapter.

But this probably reads like wizardry for people that equate wifi to internet.

Or just learn how the god damned devices you use work.

I do not understand how it became so normalized to just not bother with knowing how anything works. It’s not like this is a new thing either. So many old jokes surrounding people’s VCR clocks not being set.

At least it’s giving me job security. I’m a middle age geek that worked low level IT most of my life, thinking the younger generations would know how computers work and be able to fix small issues on their own. Hah.

Your wifi probably isn’t even down. Most of the time its your ISP and you just don’t know the difference between WiFi and internet.
