A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Your ISP has working battery backups. Don't expect it to stay on for longer, widespread outages though. When the power is out for a week, satellite is usually the only thing that will still work.
ISPs that still provide DSL, really don't want to put any effort into maintaining their equipment these days. They probably stopped replacing the batteries a long time ago.
