Just unplug the router and no internet access. ;)
No idea why the internet goes out every time you guys are out of town. So weird!!
Lol yeah so weird.
Good luck in my house, server is in a locked room and only way they can kill my cameras is by unplugging for 6 hours so the ups is depleted. Checkmate kids.
But do you have kids?
Yes
Color me surprised
They're also in a locked room. The parents are looking for them.
What UPS do you have that lasts 6 hours? Legitimately asking.
The madlad probably has like 30 of them daisy chained.
It's 2 100 ah sealed batteries I wired up to my ups
That doesn't solve anything. Your neighbors have security cameras too. They can share then with your parents. Your parents can watch video from other cameras if the neighborhood is on the same brand/network.
This varies with location. Our nearest neighbors are just shy on a mile away. Their cameras aren't much good.
...but then no Internet access :(
No Internet access = no music... But even that's not true cause everyone got mobil data etc
:/
Or be like me, one of the few ppl still collecting music and storing it digitally. Whenever we lose internet it's fine since I still have my local library of music, movies, and tv shows that I can play on any TV or device in the house. Just don't shut off the router, unplug the internet and your good.
Thats the way to go! What would you listen to if YouTube and Spotify just dissapear tomorrow?
I am the weird one here but I am the only one of everyone I know who doesn't use Spotify or any music service. I got a 6 month free trial years ago and I guess I was just so set on how I look up music and discover it that Spotify was getting in the way of that and so I barely used it.
I just looked and currently have 156k songs, 13k albums, and 3.2k artists to choose from so I got some choices! Been doing this since early to mid 2000's. If I had to pick right now probably Blur since I've been on a Blur kick recently with the new album released.
Ye. But after 6 months trial, did you have to like cancel it or do You owe* 100s of dollars to Spotify now?
We're all dieing to know...
Thx
No I just canceled it the month before it expired and it was completely free. I think the standard is 3 months but I believe I got this for a bigger than normal purchase like a new phone maybe? Figured it was worth trying out. I think the only requirement was the account used couldn't have used or been signed up for pro prior.
Nice 👍🙂
This assumes you have cell access. Not everywhere in the world does.
This assumes you're alive. Not everyone that's lived is still alive.
See how stupid that sounds?
You sound like my bf lol. Internet goes out and he can't do anything, meanwhile I got my locally stored music/shows and single player games
