Dick Entry for “UPS”
-
Uninterruptable Power Supply. Big thing with a battery. It plugs into the mains, you plug computers into it. If the power goes out because your flatmate’s 50kw dildo causes a freak surge tripping all your circuit breakers, the UPS kicks in and powers your computer for about 10 mins or so, which is enough time to either have the power back on or for the UPS to tell the computer to shut down quietly
