I only ever realize there's been a power outage when my PS4 is like "YOU TURNED ME OFF WRONG. I NEED SOME TIME TO WORK THROUGH THIS MALEVOLENT ACTION ON YOUR PART"

As an OS engineer, I know why they do that. I also know they could have added a bit of hardware (a battery or capacitor big enough to kill everything and sync data cleanly) to avoid it.
Oh, I'll add a caveat: it's possible the CPU and GPU(s) are so integrated you can't power one without the other, which would mean you could need a shocking [haha] amount of power to last for 1 second.
been using my ps3 recently again and found out that you can skip this by pressing the circle button when it gives you the warning. I don't know/think that it works on the ps4 tho
Even better when it's not storming. I lost my lies of P save because the power went out at random because a gust of wind knocked a branch on a power line.
Big issue with lies of P you ONLY have an autosave. So if you get unlucky with a power outage you'll lose EVERYTHING.
Sounds like an electrics problem in the house - my brother had a student house like that. Eventually everything electric got fried/blew up because whoever installed all the electrics in the house had no idea ...
Yesterday it was my desktop. Came home to the "Windows didn't shut down correctly" screen. A bunch of things I had running are forcing me to pay the penalty for my actions of... having no control of the matter.
Yeah same happens with me often, sometimes I just fall asleep or smth and out power goes off from time to time, then we have to turn it back on
So my old PS4 just fried completely due to how many times it happened + my mom plugging it off
I bricked my PS5 that way. After 2 power failures, it will no longer boot. If you have frequent power failures then you probably shouldn't leave it in rest mode. I sure wish I hadn't. 🥲
same but it’s a PS5 now and when it rebuilds the SSD i’ve plugged into it, i am imagining it is like 😤😤😤 “FINE i’ll rebuild this hard drive you better not do that again!!!”
My laptop battery is dead and only runs on electricity, so if I open it first thing when I wake up and the green power button light is out, I know the power went out lol

WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO ME 😡😡😡
Windows 98: "You didn't turn me off properly!"
Me: "I didn't turn you off, you crashed and rebooted!"
PlayStation: I thought we talked about this

😱 Are you sure it's _completely_ dead? Nothing can be saved?
"Hang on, lemme check... ... ... ... actually it's fine. You got lucky. This time."

I notice when it happens to me when my keyboard lights glows when I turn on my PC
I swear I'll reap those less out someday
Blew up my N64 damn him!
Took its sweet time to factory reset itself, such a drama queen!!
But it's wild knowing my ps4's threats weren't empty
dude, everything's on the external dri-
"YA THINK SO, HUH? I DON'T SEE AN EXTERN-oh there it is. Sorry, I am just a BEAR when this happens. hahaha!"

I didn’t know the power would cut mid game
Chill
