The comic is about the journey of discovery in which Scott and the reader slowly find out that Scott is a shitty guy to everyone. The movie tried to condense that into a fun, short action movie, losing the message in the way.

Sounds to me like that’s a function provided by the hardware, in this case your keyboard, so as long as you didn’t actually disconnect the keyboard for it to lose power, it would stay. At least now, if it happens again, you know where to look.
