> What sorts of consumer electronics (if any) might be affected by a flare?

* Old things (ie. pre 1990) - ie. before it was common to put protection diodes on every CMOS input.

* Analogue things designed to be very sensitive, particularly at longer wavelengths. FM/AM radio, ECG machines, microphone inputs...

* More modern things if a power cycle can't reset state.
