This 30-minutes-then-shutdown annoyance looks to be optional and disabled at the very least on the x230 machine that trmm is hacking on:

If this will turn out to be something that could be reliably disabled on other laptops, this is going to be huge.

Heck, it would be big news even if this applied only to the x230. Or even if it only applied to some x230s. It means there's a somewhat modern x64 laptop on which the ME can be disabled.

As an owner of an x230 I'm very very interested.
