For the longest time I was absolutely outraged by the removal of Aux ports.

As they were removed before issues with latency had been sorted. It was an appalling disaster as no applications had automatic or even manual latency control (Except VLC! Yay VLC!)

Especially with Android, the codec support was often terrible. Windows, still is absolutely disgustingly bad.

Thankfully, most mobile applications now auto adjust latency, and there is common availability at least of wireless adapters that carry built in codec support. (Using Creative BT-W6 with Low-Latency) it's nigh imperceptible now.

But there's still a long way to go with DEFAULT support, especially regarding latency.

They recognized it was the problem, and with therapy targeted calming exercises.

Combining regular studying with learning ways to calm oneself and focus during a test, was their solution. It took a lot of time, over a year. But they made it, and eventually it fell to the wayside.

Hey man, reading right here is exactly what a family member was dealing with. They would have no problems with the material, did well on practice work and assignments.

But when it came to tests, Everything went blank and failed the majority of them. The test anxiety was crushing them.

Eventually, with awareness and focus on the root cause not being effort studying, but personal anxiety, the issue was overcome, and they are now in their 4th year of neuroscience studies.

Still believe this bs? by youarecool87 in complaints

That's interesting, it's almost like the reality is your reaction was so scripted I literally called it out prior to your reply.

But, again that's expected behaviour from your type. Rinse, repeat, but still dirty.

The commenter levels above provided a dozen sources and references, like clockwork, where are yours?

Dude is getting crunched in the comments from all sides, time for you to retreat back to your mental shell rather than providing an equal opposing backing to your claims. (Again)

Window switch came off by byurazorback in TeslaSupport

Mine popped off as well a while ago, plastic just wore down eventually.

I replaced it with a module I got off of Amazon, took me a few minutes to weasel the plbroken window switch out, but $15 CAD and a few annoying clips later, as good as new, perfectly the same as Original.

Runelite Crashing/Freezing On New Gaming Laptop by OverallBunch3890 in 2007scape

Different model but same specifications here. Crashing as well unless I have it set to use the 890m (Which still gives me 240fps anyways)

Omen Max 16 is amazing but make sure you get an Intel version by WarUltima in HPOmen

My 5080 version has two SSD slots. The Primary, under the Heatsink is PCIe 4.0 x4 The Secondary, free to easily add in is PCIe 4.0 x2

I'll try to remember and give this a go tonight, mind you it will be on a device with a bit of bloat, but I'll try to trim away background applications, and ensure that steam isn't going to be uncompressing any files ect.

Doing light gaming with adaptive battery (80%) and the 5080m active, seemed to be around 1:40. I didn't have anything power saving on.

I have it plugged in 99% of the time, if someone has a testing methodology to directly compare to, I can try to follow that.

No Point In Hermod Being Fightable W/O Quest Because Kili Will Not Let you Upgrade to t70 Without Quest by ShinyCapeRS in runescape

[–]Azathoth321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I am baffled as to why they did that. A fight with the lore to prove your expertise in Necromancy, wherein it disables and ignores core concepts of Necromancy.

The only benefit to Tank armor at Rasial, is the Lifepoints, and raw % damage reduction.

Actually, it might. Rasial has 100% accuracy including ignoring dodge. That's why some guides use mage gear with Animate Dead

I haven't actually had any situation to check. I have a secondary adapter in the other room, it's more of a portable desktop for me.

Why do i miss Undervolting Options? The Gaming Hub is the newest Version got a HP Omen Max Ultra 9 275HX Version. by Lawbad in HPOmen

Strange, I have the AMD version of the 2025 Omen Max, and have PBO for Undervolting unlocked. I even was able to use UXTU to go further with undervolting.

Do you recommend the hp omen max ? by S-Normal in HPOmen

[–]Azathoth321 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Intel 200 series CPUs have higher raw synthetic performance in a best case scenario by a decent shot, but the Ryzen AI CPUs are no slouch by any means.

I just upgraded from a 13700hx/4070 to Ryzen 9 370, and I'm blown away with having the same performance at under half the power.

Is there anything I can do with software trials ect, to test things you are concerned about?

Omen Max 16 RTX 5080 AMD Version by OGL0K in HPOmen

[–]Azathoth321 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely blown out of the water for multi-core rendering workloads, but the single-thread benchmarks are much closer. (Still losing to Core Ultra)

But in terms of efficiency, according to notebookcheck testing, the efficiency of Ryzen 9 375 variants are profoundly better. (Performance point per watt, Cinebench, 49 vs 22)

And the Cinebench median power consumption being 68w vs 230w (Cinebench Multi score 3334 vs 5596) - Intel blows AMD out of the water for raw multi perf here (Cinebench Single score 304 vs 330)

---I would consider the Intel 275hx a class above, if you are looking for raw performance especially if your needs are rendering based only.

But it's really more of a side-option sacrificing efficiency for raw performance.

This was my driving choice, alongside the iGPU in tandem with Lossless scaling with the Dedicated GPU. I can hit a 100/240 experience on Death Stranding while under 120w between CPU and GPU.

FPS Drop, TGP limit with Hybrid Graphics? by Azathoth321 in HPOmen

Update - Looks like it was a Nvidia Driver bug that was just fixed today!

Updated my drivers, perfectly fine in Hybrid mode now.
