Awake now

[james_davis_nicoll]

Turned on my laptop, it ran for a bit and then went black. Totally unresponsive.

Took me a while to notice someone had in a fit of safety consciousness disconnected my laptop power cord. The little old lady I help take care of worries that plugged in electronics will burst into fire so she sometimes disconnects stuff.

At least it wasn't an external drive mid-backup.

I mean, it's been known to happen. It's better to disconnect the power cord at night.

My LiFePO4 batteries specifically want to stay connected to their chargers [1] for a certain time even after the red light turns green.

[1] The monster battery (50 Ah) has a monster charger with heat fins and a fan. Little old ladies everywhere fear it.
