Newegg is unfortunately not as good a source as in years past. I have two good friends who got burned by them with very suspicious defective product return problems. When it happened I read about many more similar complaints.

Looks great! I just had a very disappointing black bean burger out at a restaurant the other day. Might need to give Kenji's recipe a try.
When it gets in the problem state, does the UPS respond when you use upsc to check its status in a terminal in the vm?
If so it might be taking too long to respond when it is being checked by the daemon. If so setting MAXAGE to something higher than the 15s default may help. A lot of people raise it to 25 for this symptom. But this will only help if the driver is still connecting to the UPS ok. If it's not then it may be a problem with the USB connection or the UPS.
Your water boiling comment really hits home. I moved not long ago and went from a house with an induction cooktop back to one with gas. Forgot just how long it takes to boil water, even on a big burner!
Definitely true. A badly warped pan may have trouble. A pan with a slight wobble doesn't prevent heating in my experience. But induction elements do need to sense a pan to work.
You will not have a problem maintaining a boil on induction. The cycling isn't nearly as slow as with radiant electric. And the top heat output is generally much higher with induction.
Induction is where it's at for temperature control. Gas is good, but a lot of the heat is lost to the sides of the pot/pan, and to the air around.
Traditional electric radiant cooktops use resistive heating elements that work much like the old coil electric burners that have been around for 70+ years.
Induction works by putting out a strong switching magnetic field that heats the metal molecules of the pan. Handles stay cool because there is no excess heat blasting the sides of the pan like with gas and radiant electric. It does cycle on and off, but it does that quickly. It heats the pan much more quickly than gas (water boils in a quarter of the time vs gas), and you can drop the heat more quickly too. And the cooktop as a whole stays much cooler than other types. Simmer and melt settings let you maintain very low temperatures as well.
If there is a down-side it's that you must use pans that heat up in the magnetic field. So aluminum and glass/ceramic are out. You need induction-ready cookware. If a magnet sticks to a pan it will work.
True, but wouldn't those scattered devices already be down because of the power outage? If they are in a different room they would probably need to be on a different UPS anyway.
Geofencing is the term to search for. Here's an example: https://fossdroid.com/a/nexttracks.html (don't know if it is any good, it was just the first I found)
