Unplugged stuff with computer chips and will do the same with this tablet later tonight. Also toggled some of the power circuits to off.

I live here in the Villages but have met a lot of people who one down from Michigan, Montana, Toronto and others places north.
I haven't seen any official announcements suggesting that anybody do anything of the sort. have you? If so, where?

Not my field of expertise, but I would think that solar activity that would affect your computer and electrical panel would also shut down your car, appliances, and more importantly the power grid. I guess we'll find out in our experiment---your "stuff' is shut down, mine will remain on.
