I suspect the figure is real low. Most people trust their public power supply, and live in an area with little lightning. Why spend the money?

Why spend the money?I think it's because most people are using laptops rather than desktops. Laptops have their built-in UPS. A spike will probably just fry the wall wart and not damage the laptop, and they'll just replace the wall wart. Still, you'd think there'll be more than a dozen people noticing that nut in Fedora hasn't worked for over two months. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Why spend the money? >As a loooooong time lurker here, and a Linux only house, full of cnc machinery, there are not enough ups's here to cover everything, but there are currently 6 here as I recently added 3 more 900wa units to my 3d printer farm. They don't have to hold up very long as there is also a 20kw nat gas fired standby with about a 5 second start delay on a pad behind that garage full of cnc machinery. The 900's aren't big enough for the printers to heat the bed AND the nozzle at the same time, so I had to edit the startup code cura uses to sequence bed first. Am I that unusual?
