Really FAANG can stop a solar-storm? A war on infrastructure?

Remember that your website not just needs running computers but energy too, and a net that brings that information to the peoples, and those peoples devices need power too.

Just look at the Berlin outage where people had to go to hotpots with generators to load the phone:

And that was a small attack on infra but 100'000 where affected.

But sorry if i touched any of your sensitive areas...because it's Europe and not FAANG ;)
