I know it doesn’t inherently fix the problem, but unless they really go poking or messing with it (most users wont) it should keep them contained to the subset of options tou want them to use.

What I would do is install kiosk mode from HACS. Build a dashboard for them that only shows what you want them to see, then add kiosk mode so they can’t access the menus. Set it as their default and it should be fine

Yeah, fair enough that might be what HR/recruitment does. It doesn’t mean that there isn’t a difference though.

Also I’m not sure if that is more of a US thing maybe? I see most roles in Australia listed for “developer” not “engineers”

There is a big difference between a software engineer and a software developer/programmer. In the same way there is a difference between a civil engineer and a builder.

A software engineer is the one who scopes the project. They define the feasibility, the limitation and exeptions, the tools to use, as well as costing and time planning and management.

The programmers are the ones who work to this scope and utilise the specified tools and technologies to create the product.

I have a degree in software engineering and all of this was covered. From writing scoping documentation, to time and costing with Gantt charts. This is the actual difference.

If you only need it to skip the power outage, I would look at something in the range of 800W to 1000W in an online ups.

This wattage should run your devices for 5 minutes or so, as you have quoted them. The online UPS will always run its load off on the battery, so there is no swap over time. Other types will be fine for a PC or normal electronics, but the hitch in power could cause a defect in the 3D print.

This is absolutely the correct information. I sold UPSs for years and the general consensus is that if you want more than 5 to 10 minutes of power, then you want to go with an actual generator solution

Saying that, UPSs tend to be used in industrial environments to keep machinery running until the generator starts up and can accept the load.
