You would certainly hope so, but the government really likes the lowest bidders. So they likely don’t look to carefully into contractors.

No shooting, but does this work?

Maybe I’m alone, but this feels like a huge, “no shit”.

Amen. Sick of the current circle jerk they’ve set up punishing their fans. It’s like they want us to sail the seas.

Ah I see, well it sounds like I have a lot to learn in this area lol. Not to mention, glad I finally got a UPS. 😳

They usually aren’t common, but started this year during the summer in SoCal. Likely due to Southern California Edison, but most the locals are peeved. I just want at least some assurance I can have a minute or two, so I can power down.

It’s not irrelevant at all, as I’m aware but appreciate you mentioning it. Since it really needs more attention right now.

With that said, I’ll trying to look through Lenovo’s BIOS settings and see if I can find anything related to the issue. I know most companies try locking down over clocking settings. 🤔

And for now, I’m intentionally avoiding using the rig until the Intel update for the issues released, and have a UPS. It’s not optimal, but I’m trying to be patient lol. sigh

Lately I’ve seen 2 brownouts, and fortunately I wasn’t using the computer either time. 🤞

It will mainly be brownout/blackout duty, thanks for responding. 🙏

Mind giving a few examples for what the more sensitive equipment might be? Really appreciate you answering.

Wow, thanks so much for sharing this! It really helps to see it explained.

It sounds like the one for $109 should suffice for my situation then, right? Seeing as it’s just a desktop, essentially.

So I can easily get by with the simulated in my situation? I only plan on using it for my monitor, desktop, modem and router.

Thinking of going with the 1500, despite it costing $170 vs the other one. I do want the ability to log off in a brownout. I still don’t really get sine vs simulated myself, but I’ll trust there’s a logical reason? 🤔

Leaning towards the 1500 myself, but I don’t know much about simulated vs pure sine. The 1500 is $170 and the simulated one is $109. Which is a lot, but I don’t want to end up sorry lol. 🤔

That was sorta my question, while one’s $109 and the others $170. It’s really hard for a newb like myself to know, as I don’t know the difference lol, I live in an area of SoCal with recent brownout’s. So I’m looking for protection. 🤔 Not sure if Simulated will be enough or I’ll be sorely disappointed I didn’t go pure.

Sad, but true. It’s becoming increasingly more obvious as I’ve gotten older.

Damn. Another reminder prices are ridiculous these days… 😣

Agreed. It’s a great printer, but usually runs around $299, so it’s $100 out of their price range.

Civil wars are ultimately based on population numbers and industry, which is one reason a lot of republican states tend to lean towards industry these days, mend the mistakes of the past civil war.

Ah I see you have good taste in meme’s. 👍
