    Trollies are usually plastic-coated. If you’re gonna do this please burn it off first with a nice hot fire, then scrub off all the plastic residue before cooking food on it.

    If it’s tin- or zinc-plated you run the risk of metal fume fever if you breathe the fumes, but once-off it’s probably not much of a hazard. Unless it’s cadmium plated (peculiar yellowish hue), in which case the fumes and residue are quite hazardous.

    It’s also worth bringing a spanner to remove the castors – they’re usually decent quality and can be used for better purposes than a shopping trolley.

    Not sure if any of this advice transfers with the programming analogy.

    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.
