   :blobcatgoogly: the advertisement cult is useless. you send me to a UPS i already bought.
   
   although you don't use a UPS to play games you use it to turn the computer off.

     @picofarad that one had a chonker battery and an rgb screen.
     
     i think i have the smaller one, idk. its rated for my power supply but i don't expect a UPS to do anything but survive a power blip or give me time to hit shutdown

     @icedquinn 7/10 times the UPS lets me ride temporary breaker trips upstream (like when it does the brownout 3 times before a blackout because it's trying to nuke a tree branch or something). My triple X platinum PSU on this computer can usually ride a quick brownout (less than 2 seconds), but i don't trust spinny drives and network gear to not s the bed, so they all get UPS.

     If i was "gaming" when this PSU would normally save me from a brownout it would just shut straight off, tho.
