@owashii@plush.city weird, APC is a pretty good manufacturer of those

though we've never used their consumer-grade stuff

@owashii@plush.city that thing looks microscopic though, is that a normal size for consumer UPS models‽ the one our work uses for the server is the size of a desktop PC tower itself

@owashii@plush.city okay i looked into the details and this one is nominally a standby (aka offline) UPS so it shouldn't??? be drawing any load from the battery??? when there's mains power available

however it is only rated for 300 watts output which is less than a high-performance computer running at full capacity may need (but substantially more than an idling or lightly-loaded desktop needs)

@owashii@plush.city apc.com/shop/us/en/products/AP I believe this is the one our work uses for their compute server, though it might be a higher power or capacity one than this
