Thanks for the info.

It could still be power off... just add a large capacitor as voltage backup
and make the unit sense when power is off. It should be able to shut down
quickly enough. That's how it works most of the time. Alternatively add
some 1.5v batteries and a charger. That should never run out.

Running a PC without backup power is asking for trouble. A few 1.5v
batteries and a charger and buck-boost cost only 10 bucks.
