A fun thing about having every part of your life on a UPS is that when PG&E kills your power for funsies, all those UPSes turn your house into THE BEEPOCALYPSE

@hp fun is when something hurts and makes you angry, right?

@foone I popped open the one nearest to the bedroom and replaced the piezo with an LED so now it blinks (quiet!) but I never notice it (silent!).

I have made a terrible discovery.
My laptop is plugged into the wrong side of my UPS. My laptop isn't supposed to be on my UPS, because this UPS is here so that my electric recliner can always be safely escaped during an emergency.So yeah my laptop drained my chair's batteries and now I'm stuck
Sounds like an excuse to upgrade the chair batteries until they could fire a rail-gun.
