bought a ups at end of December plugged it into a windows pc done the tests and they are fine [also muted alarm sound as i dont want to be woken by beeping at 3am if power went out during the night]

i have tried turning off and on the ups daemon that hasn't worked and had been a issue since I've gotten it but haven't had the time to really look into it until now. i unplugged it for a bit on the 26th feb 2026 to do another test on windows and it all passed with no issues until then its been plugged into my server locked in the other room.
