What fucking infrastructure can keep computers safe from fucking lightning storms? These things have killed people through their keyboard with surges of power

>>61410753
Lighting rods, proper grounding and surge protection.

In the first world we have all of these. Even our water pipes are secured.

... You actually think GROUNDING AND SURGE PROTECTION CAN HELP YOU WITH LIGHTNING?

The first goddamn thing you are taught about lightning is that no surge protection or grounding is going to help you idiot. It fuses the surge protector immediately, providing absolutely no protection. Ground cannot take that much power. There is no way to protect yourself from a lightning strike except trying to get it to go somewhere else (lightning rods), but I've traveled a lot and I've never seen a neighborhood filled with lightning rods

>>61410871
stop living in an area with shitty infrastructure

>>61410894
The infrastructure you are suggesting does not exist, and frankly, physically can't! The only thing I can think of is you live in a place where the threat of lightning is very different, our risk is near direct lightning strikes on our houses, you'd need a rod for every house or at least a couple every block to make a difference

>>61410894
>>61410919
Plus should you somehow stop the pure destructive power of electricity from destroying your computers, your house is still on fire

>>61410894
I hope your house gets a direct hit that takes out everything including your UPS, you dumb fucking retard.

>>61410919
>The infrastructure you are suggesting does not exist

Yes it does: it's called underground power lines.

Only 3rd world shitholes still use overhead power lines, and they are the ones at risk from lightning strikes.

Direct lightning strikes are basically EMPs. I'm in Phoenix and lightning storms are basically our only natural disasters, so we do have underground power, but it's not always gonna save you when your lightning storms happen so often and don't need need rain or clouds

Yes. In the first world you generally haveouter protection in the form of a lightning rod and ring ground, then surge protection for ~100 Kiloampere (I don't know what that is in American units, you do the conversion)

The technology isn't available in America because you build your houses so that they're rebuilt easily, but also get demolished easily

Wait, do you honestly think that it's not possible to keep the electricity grid working during lightning storms? The fuck are your engineers doing. In Australia, the power grid survives lightning storms just fine, you just need to have good grounding.

We literally learned how to make power grids safe against lightning storms in high school physics.

Get a UPS.

Maybe in the city. Rural areas get black outs like no ones business.

If you're living in a storm prone part of the country the above mentioned are a must if you work for home.
I'm not a burger so I have a lot of thunder protection built into my house power supply but I still don't trust it.

I still unplug my router & modem because I'm still using DSL, and phone lines are far less protected & susceptible to lighting strikes than power lines are.
About 12-15 years ago I lost a PC to thunder. Surge came through the phone lines, fried my modem, router, and then my PC.

If you've got fiber you don't have to worry like I do. But you should have a proper industrial tier surge protector for your computer & network equipment.
And if the thunder is very close, unplug everything anyway, nothing can save you from a direct lighting strike.

>>61417385
>Thinking UPS & surge protectors will save you from a lightning strike

ITT: Americans insist that it's IMPOSSIBLE to not lose power when lightning strikes

Meanwhile in Europe the one time I've ever had a computer shut down was when I tripped over the power cable lmao

>>61410982
Seems like you never had a point to make then, yuropoor.

>>61417725
I know it won't you tard. But it greatly reduces the risk if you remove yourself temporarily from the power grid.

Also, while lightning strikes were known to strike people indoors the chances of that happening are slim at best...

Unless you are standing in the middle of a field naked with headphones using a battery powered device is perfectly fine.
