Ive been thinking about nuclear war quite a bit lately, I dont feel anxious but I do like to feel prepared. While I think the main priority should be food and water for the ensuing famine, having a laptop might be beneficial (obviously no internet though).
Ive heard about bombs knocking out telecommunication, but do they also fuck up the personal electronics permamently of people who are far enough away not to be killed by the blasts?
Even when you can save your computer, how will you save electric power plants or server stations? In case of an EMP atack, the PC is useless, apart your minor problem. Happy those who live on the outskirts on a farm with orchard, chickens and a well with water, to have to eat and drink, all this in an EMP attack is no longer available.
