The uninterruptible power supply, a fine type of machine, apart from when they interrupt themselves by exploding

@benjojo I mean, they're supposed to be uninterruptible, not unexplodable

@benjojo so-called "uninterruptible" power supplies when they discover they're made of fallible components

@benjojo between UPS and PD, I'm around 10:1 outages caused by equipment to outages caused by actual power loss.

@tedu
That's partly why I bought an ATS (automatic transfer switch). It separates out the power (battery) part from the uninterruptible part, meaning I can replace and condition batteries without a power loss.

@encthenet @tedu I regret to inform you those also have a habit of exploding sometimes, though some brands are more||less explosive
