When we have power cuts (and we get about 12-15 a year here), they're those little shitty ones where it goes off for about three seconds - just enough to ruin your day by losing you a couple hours of work. And of course the SkyHD box takes about ten minutes to reboot. :/ |edit| Just realised we haven't had one for a few months now... which is very odd. Probly get one tonight now I've said that. |

I was thinking if they had those backup power banks for desktops. I noticed someone mention the a "line-inteactive UPS" They are not that expensive too. I work with laptops so I am safe when power goes down.

Thought about a UPS myself but at the time they seemed to be quite expensive just to get yourself a couple of minutes shutdown time.

I'm fairly confident that I can last probably a day or so, without power. Laptop, iPhone, iPad, 3DS, Switch.. All nicely charged and ready to keep powering on for a heck of a while. The only issue is lack of internet, without the router/modem working. I can use my phone, but due to the cost of my none-contract's data, I'd have to limit myself to pretty much here and twitter, so it's barely worth it. Only if I get REALLY bored  At one point I thought "Hey, now would be a good time to play a Jackbox Game".. .. But we couldn't because it needed the modem and router to work.. FFS.. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

I can't go half a sodding hour without power. It's hell. We don't have gas here so if the leccy is off, everything is off. "Shit... now I can't work". *twiddles thumbs a bit* "Think I'll have a go on the Playsta..... knackers"! *twiddles thumbs some more* "Ooh I know, I'll have a nice cup of cof...... shit"! *eats some stuff out of the cupboard out of sheer boredom* "I wonder what's on the tel.... OH FUCK THIS SHIT"! |
