Lost power today. My toddler wanted toast during the outage so I figured I could make her some via the UPS. It made it all of 10 seconds before it was completely dead.
Edit: I turned it off immediately after we lost power so it was at about 95% capacity. This also isn’t your average workstation, it’s got a threadripper and a 4080 in it. That being said it wasn’t doing anything intensive.
It’s also a monster UPS.
Edit2: its not a TI obviously. I’ve lost my mind attempting to reason with a 2 year old about why she got no toast for hours.

I find that most people are surprised about energy needs. Basically 3/4 of your energy bill will be your house heating, washer and dryer, fridge, and hot water tank. Everything else is peanuts. If you or someone you know loses their mind about turning off a light it would be much better served by turning the thermostat down a degree or air drying your clothes. Basically anything that changes temperature will use a fuck ton of energy to accomplish it.
