never worked properly anywayDoes that mean that my 'Spoons App to order from my table wont work anymore ? If so we are well and truly fucked.

If the magnetic field goes we are doomed.
the solar wind will strip the atmosphere off like it did to Mars, but solar particles will kill us all long before that happens.
