So I' have nothing more than a pedestrian level of tech knowledge so I'm a bit confused about how this happened. As he's crying about Comcast he pulls out a black box with a wire claiming while the internet was down he had a back up modem which allowed him to pay bills, do his taxes (ofc) and make his personal schedule (riiiiight), he claims it let him go online as a back up.
how? if the service for the entire county was down what was supplying this magical modem (that was still on some how as he was flailing about) with access to the internet?
am I missing something or are had his mental state degraded that much that we are one step closer to him just sitting in an empty room having hallucinations of streaming?
