ups battery swap done, this is probably gonna let me run on backup power for at least 40 minutes at 400W load
and somehow it's even cheaper than a good Yuasa lead acid battery, and yet it won't lose basically all its capacity after a year or two
(let's hope the UPS can cool itself enough while inverting 400W for that long tho)

did you know that Torx 1IP (Torx Plus) screwdrivers are practically unobtanium? also, Apple uses them in their MacBooks, of course
anyway, tonight: MacBook Air M2 lid angle sensor replacement
I bought a for-parts MacBook Air off eBay with a display issue, but it apparently *also* had a lid angle sensor issue, where the lid wouldn't reliably register as being closed
sounds minor, but:
- MacBooks will, by default, turn on when the lid is opened
- even if you disable that behavior, it probably still kinda wakes the MacBook up
and so, if you don't fix it, the battery will drain itself to zero in a day or two, even if the MacBook is powered off
costs:
- new, unprogrammed lid angle sensor: US$4.49
- Torx T1 screwdriver: US$7.50
