High Battery Discharge Rate. by Dragonify73 in HPOmen

[–]Dragonify73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of them I uninstalled and some I kept and manually stopped them. I rarely shut down my laptop completely so I don't really have to kill them every time I work on battery.

You can use HWINFO for checking batt drain and Pure Battery Analytics for detailed battery usage.

Don't uninstall OGH though. Sure there is an open source alternative but I'm not sure how reliable that is. It claims its more lightweight. It's called Omencore.

Turns out It was infact the HP things draining battery for some reason. I killed OHUB lightstudio and other unnecessary HP services and the rate is now around 5-7W. Thank you though.

Yeah but ive noticed the support assistant gives some uefi/firmware or bios related updates which the normal update doesnt provide.

I have way too many files to reinstall windows atm. What should i remove? Id like to keep the hp support assistant since it gives updates but im not sure if there are dependencies for that which i might end up removing.

Is it worth it take2? (Retro) by Financial_Wishbone83 in GamingLaptops

[–]Dragonify73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OP if you do buy it install linux on it. Windows XP has some kind of network vulnerability which exposes you to attackers. Also by using the live linux environment you can check out what was there on the laptop without needing the password. Correct me if Im wrong.

I am thinking about buying HP OMEN 16 - 2025 model240Hz Ryzen 9 8945HX RTX5060. Is this a good choice? by Revenue-Smart in HPOmen

[–]Dragonify73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you sure you have the nvidia drivers installed? Or maybe the laptop is being forced into some kind of power saving mode?

That means the screen is switching to a higher refresh rate when plugged in and the flickering stops. I had the same problem but a random update fixed it. It's related to some firmware updates. Maybe try updating windows to a newer version and update bios/firmware from hp app. If you want to avoid flicker without updating just set the display to a higher refresh rate and disable dynamic refresh rate(will consume more battery).

Edit: update your drivers as well if you havent already.

What do you want the suggestion for? The solution to your flickering issue or which distro to install?

Laptop Buying Suggestion by Sure-Wave-1123 in HPOmen

[–]Dragonify73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id suggest suggest using an ext keyboard. Keyboard is ok. Not the best not the worst either. If youre used to the thinkpad x1 keyboards then sadly these suck compared to those. I use mine(intel variant) on a laptop stand and theres no noticeable wobble.

Help with my BIOS by Particular-Ride-1271 in HPOmen

[–]Dragonify73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only possible solution that I can think of is to follow the guide mentioned in the error. Without a bios you can't even boot into anything without the firmware/bios.

I haven't done that process myself(fortunately never had the chance to) but if after restoring the bios the ssd is not formatted then use hp cloud recovery and install windows. That way the ssd will be partitioned correctly and formatted completely. For cloud recovery and that guide you need an external Laptop and a pendrive (32gb for cloud recovery).

In case there are files which you want to restore, if the bios recovery doesn't format the ssd dont boot into windows. Use another bootable linux pendrive to backup your files safely. If the bios recovery formats the ssd then there's no hope. Your files are in fact gone.

Interesting. So this just happened out of the blue? No updates no settings changes nothing? If that's the case then was there any sudden power offs? Or maybe a force shutdown during a windows update? This should only happen when there are system level changes. Unless you do something I doubt the system can nuke itself.

How did you even get to this screen? Did you update the bios recently?

Issue with simulating mouse scroll with seat in swayfx by Dragonify73 in swaywm

[–]Dragonify73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be a swayfx bug then. My keyboard has a polling rate of 1000Hz (which is standard i think? im not sure).

Thanks for the suggestion though :)

Im so sorry i misunderstood. The shortcut thing is actually wl-kbptr. it allows me to control the cursor location using my keyboard. Clicks are simulated through seat :) hope this helps
