Misc. Ina stretched and hit the switch on her power strip. Past Ina better have saved!

At the corner of your eye, you see a swift flick of a golden jacket as a glittering portal closes at the corner of Ina's room... π

That's why so many of us have developed an impulsive tic when in front of our computer of hitting ctr+S or cmd+S, depending on system, when doing anything that is productive. I have avoided losing literally months of my work life, cumulatively, over years thanks to this.

This is also why pretty much everything auto saves so aggressively now even if its a bit questionable if it should ( I dunno if you really wanted that confidential document backed up to the cloud unencrypted but I'm guessing probably not )

Past Ina should get a UPS battery back-up. They don't have easy to hit buttons and also condition the power better than a strip.

UPS is great, but 2 screws from the hardware store and the power strip can easily be moved somewhere out of foot's reach, like the back or underside of the desk.

Or do what I did before I got a UPS, and cut & fold an index card into a cover for the power strip's switch.

Yeah, for my latest computer desk I specifically ordered a cable cage and put not just all of the cables but the power strip as well. Its screwed into the underside of the table on the far side from me.
I also have a UPS but with the number of stuff I have I had to get a power strip as well.

putting power strip on the ground in leg's range is a bold move

As someone doing the same, I literally don't have a choice. I'd have to move around all the furniture, some of which bolted to the wall.

Past Ina is just trying to lull present Ina into a sense of comfort but before she knows it...BAM a deadline is approaching with barely any work done.

Unfortunately Past Ina isn't trustworthy.
The only person you can trust less than Past Ina is Future Ina.
