Wanted to check the UPS for a while now because I suspected its batteries might need replacing

Just in case you had the slightest doubt about what Elon Musk is doing with X/Twitter, look at this brief thread. He is one of the true monsters of our era, and he uses X/Twitter to guide his fellow right-wing extremists to ever-more-extreme places.
If you are still there, you should be ashamed.

Turns out you can do better: reschedule the meeting right when it's supposed to start. No work done before the meeting, and then not even a meeting.

I wasted so much money on AA batteries because I missed this tiny detail
The clue was printed right there… and I still burned through stacks of AAs.
