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.
In: 2145
How long had the UPS already been on? Thirty minutes for a workstation seems like a REALLY long time.
Also, toasters use up A LOT of power… literally “burning it” for heat. It pretty much uses as much power for its entire usage as your computer does, just starting up when “everything” is turned in and using maximum power.
