"StandBy": what happens when you don't have a surge protector for your computer (sci-fi) during a storm
“StandBy” is a rather curious sci-fi short film from Trey
Drysdale (from July 2014), 6 minutes.
In a home in Britain, a business school student (Nico Drysdale)
is typing a term paper into his computer. There is a severe thunderstorm
outside and the house is hit by lightning. He is plugged in to Britain’s Direct
Current without a surge protector, and his computer is fried.
He tries to fix the outlet and it arcs on him. Then the computer comes back up and seems
like a portal to other dimensions.
