asked my housemate where the router is bc the wifi's been down all day and he said oh you know that global computer outage? spectrum's down. and i was pretty sure that was bullshit.

long story short i found three different routers in this goddamn house and finally figured out the one we've been using and reset it and voila we have wifi again!!! i knew he was wrong. so there. dykes do it better etc etc

#.txt #i googled it. nothing. hadnt heard anything about a Major Network Provider completely going down #i checked spectrum's website. no outages reported in the area #i fucking called them. no outages reported for the zip code #and the real person couldnt tell me anyrhing because i dont know the name on the account #(the owners live in california for gods sake company management probably knows but whatever)#texted my dad for half an hour!#tried to find the password for the networks that showed up when i plugged the router on the desk in.#found it.#those networks would connect w/o internet.#went looking for a different router #found a near-identical one #restarted it #no luck #realized the thing that looked like a diffuser plugged into it was actually another fucking router!#restarted that shit. wifi!!!#fuck you grayson i knew you were wrong so there.#literally i think he just saw a headline about crowdstrike and connected the dots because that's literally not the problem #the problem is computers getting bricked it didnt take down AN ENTIRE NETWORK PROVIDER
