It doesn't have to be lithium, nor non-replaceable. I just meant something to hold the memory contents and processor in a suspend mode long enough to allow battery replacement. Could be a capacitor, or something else that gets the job done. That's why I alternatively listed allowing hibernation (save memory to storage and power off) as an alternative option. The goal was to be able to resume where you left off after swapping batteries.

At least give us some kind of teaser that gives me a reason to want to read about someone I've never heard of, OP. TY @spongebue@lemmy.world for proving such.
Meh. I'd say it's more variance in method than an actual disparity in quality. Humans are basically the same everywhere you go: some small percentage are truly great, a similar (but seemingly larger) percentage are the truly evil, and the rest are varying degrees in between. The differences are mostly cultural in nature.
Also I wonder if you're so deeply insecure that you spend your time trying to find ways to look down upon others to momentarily make yourself feel smug and superior. The problem with that approach is that it's like being addicted to drugs: the effect doesn't last, and becomes weaker every time - so you wind up doing it more and more in a pointless effort to regain the same high as the first time you did it, which only serves to make you seem like more and more of an asshole.
Oh, get over yourself. It was in no way an insult unless you're looking for it to be one. We all have our challenges - some more significant than others, of course - which makes being able to laugh at ourselves an important means of relieving the stress of those challenges.
I have ADD, depression, & some other mental challenges of my own. My spouse has several physical health issues (which cause additional mental health issues). Nobody understands or cares & we just have to deal with it.
I get the sensitivity to an extent, but you need to learn to distinguish between malicious intent versus those just trying not to take things too seriously (or in this case, trying to encourage someone else not to). None of us are perfect, and that includes you.
The important thing is that we try our best to not only get through this crappy excuse for a life ourselves, but also to help others do so when we can. My attempt to inject some mild humor into a situation where someone was being a bit overly condescending, while also having fun with the accidental double-post of a comment was just that - some light-heated poking of fun at something being taken too seriously.
But then it loses the magic...
America showed them how.
I cannot for the life of me fathom how people think this sort of extreme role-playing is going to work out for them in the long run. I kinda get the escapism aspect, but to carry on with it for this long and think you won't get caught seems quite absurd to me.
Just make sure your fire extinguisher is nearby & is rated for lithium fires.
Ahh - the ever ambiguous "they."

Likely expensive AF once you get all the needed accessories. I wonder if they have a minimal onboard battery, or allow hibernating so you can swap batteries and keep going.
Not nearly into the SW lore enough nowadays to respond adequately to that. I'm old enough to have seen the original release in theaters, and I never heard that justification back in the decade or two that followed. As such, it honestly sounds like a retrofitted justification someone was finally able to come up with. And even that still sounds sus because of the time-dilating effects such celestial bodies would cause (although this is sci-fi, so I'm sure there can be a retrofitted explanation of how to get away with that, too).
