As Vorlon says, it only does it if it loses power or there's something wrong
with the battery.

So hopefully it just won't go particularly often. I'd do sound proofing
_anyway_, but I'm not entirely sure how that'd work thermally. As in, I worry
that it'd overheat.

 Og> What short cord?

It's not super short. It's just that it's maybe a bit over a meter/3 feet
long, and I switched my setup so that it's under the desk rather than
immediately at the outlet. I'd prefer to have it placed back a bit further,
but it's really at the limit of what I can use.

But the nice surge protector I got? Plenty of cord length, without feeling
too long.

That's a solid plan, and I'll probably do something like that. Currently I
just have something placed in front of it. But when I'm normally sleeping in
the room, I'll probably go the paper route.
