Will it fry electronics, like computers and USB drives?
Or the MSM’s own infrastructure
That will miraculously stay intact.
Most likely, it won't affect them.
A Solar Flare is significantly less than an EMP burst.
A solar flare will affect all electronics that are connected to the grid, cables, or antenna wires. It's a lower frequency signal than nuclear EMP.
So, why the hell are we panicking about this, if our devices will be okay?
Disregard the person you're replying to.
Only if they are connected to long wires, such as electric lines, TV cable, or long antennas. Nuclear EMP will affect even isolated electronics unless they are in a Faraday cage. I have my smaller extra equipment wrapped in layers of alternating plastic and aluminum foil.
