Can you please reformat this comment it is really hard to read.
Sometimes people forget that you need two newlines to break text into paragraphs on HN. I opened the browser inspector and copied the raw text, which still has the single newlines, then doubled the newlines.

The MX Vertical is great but as soon as they release a version with the same scroll wheels (plural) from the MX Master, mine will go straight into the trash (well, not really).
This is the dream for people who don't like "wasted screen estate"!
+1 recommendation for a cheap UPS.

I was kinda amazed when I plugged in the UPS to my M1 Mac Mini with USB and macOS just detected it without any software. It just shows up as a battery just like on a laptop with all the same options.

have you tried actually running the pc and everything for 30 min on the battery? I also have a UPS that claims a certain wattage and the one time I tried it, it seemed to be losing power very quickly even when I only had my router and modem on it.
Simply a question of capacity planning, load balancing, and configuration.
