You're all still suckling at the opium teat of corporate media, whether via torrent or not.

The replacement battery you bought in 2017 was the last of the genuine stock for that 2012 Thinkpad model. Now it's only poor quality aftermarket. Maybe just stick with the existing genuine battery -- its 47 second runtime should be enough time for AC loss to trigger a custom script to make it hibernate.

LoL, blue shirt has no persistence. Anger and giving up gets you nowhere.
XKCD #349 - "Success": [Four full-width panels arranged vertically, each with a label for number of hours elapsed, with a title above the stack of panels.];    Title: As a project wears on, standards for success slip lower and lower.;    [Megan is standing behind Cueball, watching him as he sits at a desk working on a desktop computer on the desk.];    Label: 0 hours;    Cueball: Okay, I should be able to dual-boot BSD soon.;    [Cueball is on the floor fiddling with the open tower in front of him. Megan is not shown in the panel, but may be off-panel unless Cueball is talking to himself.];    Label: 6 hours;    Cueball: I'll be happy if I can get the system working like it was when I started.;    [Cueball is standing in front of the computer, which now has a laptop plugged into the tower. Megan is still not shown in the panel, but may be off-panel again.];    Label: 10 hours;    Cueball: Well, the desktop's a lost cause, but I think I can fix the problems the laptop's developed.;    [Cueball and Megan are swimming in the sea; an island and a beach can be seen in the distance.];    Label: 24 hours;    Cueball: If we're lucky, the sharks will stay away until we reach shallow water.;    Megan: If we make it back alive, you're never upgrading anything again.

Title text:40% of OpenBSD installs lead to shark attacks. It's their only standing security issue.

Tl;dr: TSMC

 

..And you can imagine the job discrimination as an adult if you don't drive.

 

Of course, the real story here is how the elderly (and everyone else) are fucked over by car dependency and its associated suburban sprawl, shit public transport, and unwalkable neighbourhoods.
