I'm pretty sure that "your electronics" in this context is most likely referring to the grid operator's electronics, not individual personal devices. In that case, frequency is extremely important- if you like grid stability and dislike blackouts, that is. ๐Ÿ˜…

That's a ridiculous way to define "your electronics". The original commenter was trying to fear monger with incorrect information, and you are jumping to protect them. I didn't realise the grid owners had astroturfers in the fediverse.

I'm primed to correct FUD. If that means I'm not OK so be it. Love the textbook ad hominem by the way. That's a classic that never goes out of style.
