In the same way that Windows 10 was rushed to be a year early because they 'skipped' Windows 9?

Pretty sure that one was to avoid a Windows Nein. (They are still striving for a Windows?Nein! situation given the FUBAR Anniversary Edition, albeit "by any other name")

I know - I was trying to use sarcasm to point how how marketing names don't really mean much in terms of product development and doesn't indicate anything here was rushed out the door.

Still unclear why some replacements (which have batteries from a different supplier) are exhibiting a similar failure mode.

Could it have been an issue with the deign of the battery itself, so the failure would happen regardless of who manufactured the battery?

Why do batteries need to be unique for each model? Some laptop lines (e.g. Lenovo) share removable batteries among models with similar power needs. Same used to be true of phones which had removable batteries from the same phone vendor.

Click on 'web' link below the title above, this will take you to a google search for the story, which generally allows you to read the full story (for SEO purposes)

This doesn't help anymore ( or it is because i already surfed to it). But i read that it is not possible anymore on another topic https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12680380#unv_12680507 They "upgraded" their paywall game. Also, the first topic with the most votes is ALWAYS a link to another article with the same information or a TLDR; for those who can't access the paywalled article. Please just ban the wsj domain…

FWIW, it still works fine for me.

The subject says it all, but am I the only one who isn't a subscriber of the Wall Street Journal? Is there no free source on the Internet for this same piece of news? I'm not saying everything should be free. I build paid-for services on the web myself. But how is “To Read the Full Story, Subscribe or Sign In” useful on the Hacker News?

Use the web link at the top. Even better is that you get an AMP version of the story.

The web link at which top? The link on news.ycombinator.com, which I was responding to, goes to a paywall teaser.

If Google refers you to the article from its search results, you can see the whole thing. Try searching for the headline!

This is the second article i can't access in a short time. Please consider changing the url to the nytimes article or deleting the article on itselve. I don't think HN should contain links to paywalled sites like wsj.com

Many of us agree. Unfortunately per dang policy such links are allowed and we're not even supposed to discuss it in the comments here. I don't know what to suggest other than looking for alternatives to HN. If you would like an invite to lobste.rs I'm happy to send you one.

I'd love an invite, if you've got one! niklas dot herder at gmail

The "web" in this line, just below the title. It takes you to a google search.

The link at the top of the google result of the headline you should search. (But if you enjoy the WSJ, consider picking up a subscription or a paper from time to time.) :)
