My BX750MI-GR has saved my precious data on two occasions. Earlier this year, my seven year old, well used waffle iron shorted, popping loudly and sparking quite brightly in the process, probably because of all the gunk that had accumulated inside its less cleanable interior over the years. That not only made my breaker trip, but also blew the 16 amp main fuse. The UPS kicked in immediately, making a klick and a beep, which felt amazing. That was my first time ever.
As for the second time, see this post.
You wouldn’t ask that question if you lived in an area with shitty power network. With daily brownouts, momentary power losses and voltage spikes your equipment will survive much less than it could. I had a router die because of that.
It’s impossible to measure this impact at home, but it’s there even on much more stable networks.
I don’t know what that has to do with having or not having a UPS.
My condolences.
That’s exactly why I’m using a UPS even though there hasn’t been a blackout in my town since maybe a decade or so.
Put an extra line break between your quote and your reply to separate them, like this:
> Quoted text ReplyThat’s either a bug or a problem over at your instance:
Just because it looks okay for you, it doesn’t mean you’ve used commonly accepted markdown. When I view your comment as original text, I can see a single line break after the end of the quoted parts, and if you go to edit your comment, I think you will, too. Many markdown renderers interpret this as a continuation of the quote so one doesn’t have to keep inserting greater than symbols when manually quoting. Putting an extra break in disambiguates the end of the quote, so will display correctly in virtually every renderer.
Also, not how instances work, they federate the exact text. The difference is in the many clients available to use.
I see. Thanks for informing me!

Most if not all of them come with an automatic voltage stabilizer
