This is how you get hyperinflation.

These are Australian elections -- it is 100% paper ballots.

The starlink thing is just a backup link for communicating election-night preliminary count data counted by election staff at the booths. Then the ballots are transported to counting centres for the official count. Full legal results aren't known for a couple of weeks.
Whittaker's phrasing is ambiguous. Could be read as expressing one of a number of things:
- The paper/article is misleading and distracting from meaningful threats to privacy.
- That the original tweet is using misleading accusations to distract us from the article's revelations of meaningful threats to privacy.
- That Appelbaum's authorship of the research is an unwanted negative association which undermines the attention deserved by the threats documented in the paper which are misleadingly justified as necessary by eg. governments.
It's difficult to know without a better understanding of Whittaker's position on the various matters at hand, so I don't know.

[showerthoughtsofficial]: When medication says "do not operate heavy machinery" they're probably mainly referring to cars, but my mind always goes to forklift.
[sauntervaguelydownward]: It has honestly never occured to me that this warning was about cars and not construction equipment

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.
