It has all the bells and whistles kind of like the old used car I bought during covid lockdown time.

I’m sure this is unrelated.

This is our own government testing the internet kill switch. It is not a theory, they even tried to pass a bill against using it.

Agreed. The internet services that tend to be down are ones that depend on Google’s cloud services.
