How will they replug my single PSU workstation to their UPS’?

  Use insulated tools and a steady hand to cut into the power cord and splice in the UPS. The UPS is configured to match phase with the power that's already in the cord.

    .. or get a HotPlug https://www.cru-inc.com/products/wiebetech/hotplug_field_kit/ https://www.cru-inc.com/products/wiebetech/hotplug_field_kit... Just discovered this now myself. The same company sells mouse jigglers.

      HotPlug is one of the turnkey versions of this, yes

      Which is why if you want to defend against the easy versions of these and make people have to do work, only plug your desktop PCs into standalone outputs not on a surge protector. Yes, it won't defend against cord cutting. Edit: A more interesting defense I think would be to modify a surge protector for this specifically to defeat HotPlug. Only put your computer on a specific outlet and wire it so that if any other outlets complete circuit to kill power to the whole thing.

        Plugging into the wall doesn't defend against hotplug nor make it meaningfully more difficult: https://youtu.be/erq4TO_a3z8?t=236 https://youtu.be/erq4TO_a3z8?t=236

          Oh wow, that's interesting. Definitely would go with my modified surge protector plan then.
