An internal 3 cell battery and a removable 3 cell battery (a 6 cell one is also available)

I don't have a spare but the main point of this set up is to allow hot swapping of batteries wit no shutdowns when AC is unavailable

- to keep test/stage as faithful a copy of prod as possible they will have a totally separate but the same DNS set up/CDN set up/ load balancing etc. Theoretically the only difference would need to be one routing rule rather than stuff that might start creating edge case bugs with certs/cookies etc where there are different numbers of segments in domains. Also allows for more certainty/confidence when something is tested in a lower environment that it will work when promoted to prod

I also know of a bank that does similar via an old school sort of way, their online banking login page tries to load images from urls made up of your IP and various ports.

Presumably these are targeting known ports for online banking malware C&C http traffic rather than remote desktop services though.

And this is a bank that still uses frames 'for security', so it must be an old technique!
