    @seabass @foone I think this calls for replacing your recliner with the most famous product of Martin-Baker Ltd.

    They almost certainly don't want to exit the recliner through the ceiling though. 3:O(>

        @foone no that's "computers" that not "fun".

        Common mistake.

            Wallace and Gromit could sort something less destructive (and probably much more amusing) with no trouble at all.

                  @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.
