    Ever taken the internet offline to a 70 story residual building? I did because when I plugged my laptop in to troubleshoot something the UPS chucked a massive wobbley and decided to reboot.

      I’ve plugged a standard console cable into an APC UPS. did that twice before I realized what was going on. APC decided to do a pinout on their serial platforms that gets triggered with a “Cisco” console cable to shut down. What. The. Fuck.
