Why does my laptop think it's the year 2112 after the battery reaches 0% charge?
When my laptop's battery reaches 0% charge, the next time I boot the system clock resets itself to January 1, 2112. I'm wondering: Aside from the possibility my laptop is a huge RUSH fan, why would 2112 be the year to which the system clock reverts? How can I prevent this from happening every time my battery dies? (I know how to fix it manually, see below.) Just in case anyone is stuck in a similar situation, the manual fix on Linux is to run something like the following as root: # date -s 7 OCT 2020 12:51:00 This sets the hardware clock in UTC time; depending on how your time and timezone is
