Ricky then dives into the drums and plays some fast drums for you. Let's go. Ricky takes an annoying situation, and turns it into a test, naturally. He talks about a way to keep your internet up and running during a power failure using batteries. This will help with working from home. He then thinks about gigabit ethernet.
