Overblown? I disagree. The situation has degraded substantially since I have lived here (going on 4 decades now).

From 2011-2014, the ATX power grid was so stable, that I was able to run a TS3 server out of my apartment with 100% uptime. It was plugged directly into the wall with no hope of survival if any power disruption occurred. 3 years. Probably didn't even miss a single 60hz cycle.

Fast forward to 2021, I can expect to reset the clocks in my house about once every other week.
