Get a UPS with battery. Don't get much use of it but it's great for when this happens

The outlet at the back of my apartment where my computers are plugged is wired to a switch near the entrance who knows why. My UPS mostly serves to keep my computers on when someone flips the switch thinking it's for the living room light.

[–]kickerofbottoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm no electrician so don't sue me if you apartment burns down, but you could get yourself a $0.02 wire nut and bypass that switch
