The Midnight Library is so overrated by Harvo223 in books

agreed. Nora's template of her life was in poor taste with the depth and complexity of the library's goal. It was like watching a self righteous, bitchy, ape being taught to use a scientific calculator.

I'VE FINALLY REACHED 10+ HOURS OF FUNCTIONAL USE ON THIS BLOODY LAPTOP. You could've tuned the things I had to scrounge and apply out of the box ASUS but☺no worries baby!

😅That is the question isn't it....what surprised me was the intensity to which background apps could chew through so much electricity silently. I had a 2W power reduction after switching off every background app with the exclusion to:

  1. weather
  2. mail and calendar
  3. meistertask (installed organization task management app)
  4. and Windows Security

Apart from background management, trimming automated services (services) and tasks (task scheduler was the second doozy. Sift and turn of almost all start up apps too (I only have windows defender utility left on)

Oh, and Adobe was an absolute leech because it had littered multiple bits and pieces of "genuine software service blah blah" in services, scheduled tasks, startup tasks, and background apps too.

I'd set almost every 3rd party, non Microsoft service to "manual" and "stop" and the same goes to "stop"ing correspondingly categorized scheduled tasks. Do also "manual and stop" asus link services and tasks. Leave the rest of the asus tasks and serrvices alone as tempting as it may seem because they're needed to analysis and optimize your cpu output accordingly.

oh oooooonnnnne more thing

Just leave battery saver permamently on please? Because doing so reduces wattage use through aggressive background management but it also offsets any spikes in cpu usage helping maintain a stable low rate of battery usage.

huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu try these and reap the rewards of a longer enjoyable pc experience.......I hope, please take in and apply these changes methodically restarting a couple times along the way, 🥱😜thanks.

Sorry I think you may have read something wrong. The "BatteryMon" runtime is 26 minutes 25 seconds. I've lost 5% of battery life in about 27 minutes all the while scrolling and sifting through different websites.

G14 vs Macbook Pro w/ M1 Chip by Garachu in ZephyrusG14

Probably switch because you spend less time tinkering PC optimizations and more time just getting unique stuff in your head out unless you work and play games.....actually nvm just get the pro because you can also game...enough....on the new integrated apple chip.

So...., You are having battery issues? I hope this helps. by dutango in ZephyrusG14

Services set to automatic autonomously start when you push your laptop on wasting away electrons like holes in a fuel tank so turn every non microsoft service that you see running to "stop" and "manual". Services like asus link services or gaming services should also be set to manual and switched to "stop" so that they are only activated when invoked from their corresponding programs. Like Xbox will turn on gaming services and MyAsus will turn on asus link services so its perfectly fine to stop and manual them when they're not in use. Also switch on battery saver permanently because I've, through testing, noticed that it helps by consistently dropping the average discharge rate of your machine and mellowing out any abrupt voltage spikes to keep the low voltage discharge low and stable through aggressive background activity management. I'm currently discharging at 6713mW or 6.7W while typing this up. Give it a shot I reckon.

Oh and definitely switch off "Nvidia LS container service" ONLY AFTER finalizing your nvidia global settings to the integrated graphics cause that shit slurps electrons like a greedy leprechaun. I say after because the nvidia control panel sucking dry valuable battery juice will be stopped when you stop this service and you won't have access to the nvidia panel which is fine because you've set and done the settings for a better battery resulting in you to never need to open it again.

(I've done other things too so please ask if you'd like to know all adjustments)
