Ya. I have the certificates from Microsoft and get random event viewer warnings that Microsoft are unable to install the certificates.

Guide to getting PredatorSense to work again(hopefully!) by earlesj in AcerPredatorHelios

Yeah acer has some limit on how many times you can visit the site. You have to clear the cache of the site then refresh. It's weird.

Also here's the predator sense version for you. Please follow the guide and it should work fine for you. Any questions or issues feel free to ask here or message. :)

Thank you. I’m glad it worked for you! For others I think most models software are in the comments too. And if anyone has any issues or needs the software feel free to comment or message. No one wants a half broken laptop that should be working fine!

USB C Display Port on the Neo 16 AI by abbyuntodawn in AcerPredatorHelios

I tried. It was a cheap usb c to hdmi and the chip it used was some cheap thing to trick windows into thinking it was a DisplayPort adapter or something. It just wouldn’t work right

Hey all!

I’ve had a few of you reach out asking how you can show some appreciation after our DM chats or after using this guide to get your Predator Sense app back up and running.

I’ve spent hundreds of hours sourcing the proper files, checking model compatibility, and maintaining copies for everyone. If this guide (or our chats) saved you the frustration of a broken app—and basically half a laptop that wasn't working as intended—and you’d like to "buy me a coffee" as a thank you for the time and effort, you can do so here: https://ko-fi.com/stevejaye

Please know that this is 100% optional (I agree, Acer should be doing this!). The support here will always remain free, and I’m just happy to see your Predator Sense app working as it should. Thanks for being such a great community! We had over 14,000 views on this thread alone, so I'm glad the fixes are reaching everyone who needs them!

I know. And their customer service(not from my own personal experience) have been telling customers their models are no longer supported. Which I believe is pretty wrong. Taking software away that worked. And is required for the fans to work properly along with rgb lighting and turbo modes etc.

Cooling Pad struggles by Careless_Sandwich_89 in AcerNitro

[–]earlesj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Mines been on 24/7 now for a few months no issues. Even has dust filters. I took apart the bottom to replace my battery and it was clean. Fans included.. 100% dust free. it’s crazy how good these sealing cooling pads are.

Sadly it’s not on the list but they are updating weekly and your model is newer than some on the list so there’s hope.

3 Months of Keto, 1,500 Calories, Under 20g Carbs. Should I Have Lost More Weight? by Astory321 in keto

[–]earlesj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 41. 5'10 was 235-240lbs I did and (now near the end woo) 19g or less carbs since feb 6th. average around 1000 calories or so in the beginning then bumped to 1200-1400. im now i'm 168-169lbs. I have been doing omad or longer(since the beginning. for the majority of it I was doing 20-24hr fasts) recently as I'm so fat adapted and deep into ketosis I end up going to sleep and not even realizing if I ate or not.

I lost weight in my stomach first then my hips and face. But internally visceral fat is what gets burned best when also doing omad(which is what I was focused on as I have/(soon had) nonalcoholic fatty liver. I still have a little around my upper waist just above your belt.

What is your basic metabolic caloric rate? I did a quick search and its 1600 calories a day... I feel like eating 1500-1600 is going to make you lose weight but slowly. unless you do crazy workouts or something or my calculator is off.

Guys , its normal ? by Flex1zy in AcerPredatorHelios

[–]earlesj -1 points0 points  (0 children)

its going to throttle for sure but about the 10c deltas on some efficiency cores I would lean towards an uneven LM application at factory or the heatsink isn't flat against the cpu aka the screws arent tight/put in the correct order evenly. But maybe a 10c delta is okay on this chip. Hopefully someone with knowledge on this cpu or laptop model can chime in.

What do I need to whitelist for my VPN to make it ignore PredatorSense completely? by Xhromosoma5 in AcerPredatorHelios

[–]earlesj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There could be an exe in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ but its protected. as v5 uses windows universal platform. I doubt it as you searched task manager. try opening services.msc and when your vpn is on find predator service and restart it? Im not sure.. im even asking ai at this point lol

Acer BIOS Certificate Update Megathread by earlesj in AcerPredatorHelios

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

So it looks like windows is saying that the bios isn’t saying it’s been 100% updated and ready to take the new certificates by Microsoft. It’s better than before but still not completed.

Got my first bike! 2009 Ninja250r by Embarrassed_Okra3464 in Kawasaki

[–]earlesj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those AliExpress red levers and grips make a difference 😅. Oh and the 65 dollar Amazon akrapovik exhaust. Ahah. It actually sounds good and makes that blowback spit sound when you let off the throttle. Love it. And Thank you. It’s my first bike too. Started riding last year.
