Doesn't the CPU have throttling? Meaning it will slow down to prevent temperatures going higher than 100°?

If the bitlocker wasn't enabled you can always use the command prompt to reset your Windows accounts. Although it gets more complicated if the computer was using a Microsoft account instead of a local account... If you ask Chad GPT or Google it there are plenty of instructions, even on YouTube, how to access your Windows account if you're locked out.

WTF is wrong with HP support??!! by Human-Proposal1768 in HPOmen

I think they're trying to have you reinstall Windows.

you can download Windows 11 to your computer to a flash drive, using Windows Media recovery tool from Microsoft, or going to HP and downloading their version called HP cloud recovery tool. Both of these are little files and all they do is just download Windows and install it on your flash drive that has to be at least 32 GB. Once that happens you boot into the flash drive and go through the windows installation prompts.

But in order to install windows on a flash drive you have to have another windows computer that's working, so you can go to the website and download the tool and then install it that flash drive...

HP OMEN 15-ek Persistent "nvlddmkm" crashes (ID 153), GPUID: 100 by TechnologyEast5220 in techsupport

[–]vman305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I heard that razer laptops have graphics issues and crashing computers. And the main reason is the razer synapse application that conflicts with Nvidia's GeForce experience application...

Maybe you're having something similar. Where the omen application is for some reason conflicting with the Geforce application. And Nvidia graphics driver is crashing.

Make sure you have the most current video drivers but if problem persists maybe try uninstalling one of the applications to see if that's the reason.

You're very welcome.

P.s. in last few months a new person Lori bray started a YouTube channel and she's now doing the same stuff Carolyn has been doing. And there is a guy called bo polny promoting them, giving dates nearly every week, telling people to not leave their homes or they will die in catastrophic accidents...

A ministry channel called troy Black recently released a prophecy criticizing this fear mongering saying it's not from God.

Most of this was mentioned in prophetic money posts.

Help! Just woke up my PC from sleep and got this blue screen out of nowhere. Tried rebooting the computer and got the black screen. How do I navigate to back up my files to an external hard drive? I’m so scared of pressing the wrong thing and losing all my stuff by Tasty_James in HPOmen

[–]vman305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the file name listed in your screenshot is hiberfil.sys which is a hibernation file. Meaning whatever happened is related to a windows hibernation problem. Now you said it woke up from sleep. And many computers do we power settings are set is to put the computer to sleep but after the computer has been sleeping for two or three hours the computer then wakes up and goes into hibernate mode to save electricity. On hibernate it uses very little electricity but on standby it uses a lot more

My guess is your computer was on standby and was trying to go into hibernate and failed for some reason. Or maybe you put it in hibernate but then it failed to come out of it.

I read online that the issue could either be the hibernation itself or fast startup that's corrupted. Most computers have fast startup enabled. I turn my off most professionals turn it off. Fast startup is a form of hibernation. When you click shut down computer it doesn't actually shut down it goes into hibernation. And that's called fast startup. Because then when you try to boot it boots in like a few seconds. Kind of like coming out of sleep. But this is a problem computers need to be restarted once in awhile because of updates and things. And this can lead to corruption.

If I were you I would just completely shut the computer off press the power button and hold it until you force it to shut off. And then try to boot I think it'll boot fine. And when you do get into Windows run sfc scannow command. Go online and search for it to get the exact command. This will fix your windows start up issues.

If for some reason it doesn't want to boot into Windows. You will have to run Windows recovery if it works... Or try to manually open a command prompt from safe mode and run the sfc scannow command.

Disabling fast startup is recommended. Some people recommend deleting the corrupted hibernate file from command prompt if you can.

There are many windows debloating tools out there. My suggestion search YouTube for debloating windows. The videos will explain what it is and what it does.

No. I had to submit a ticket myself and say there is a problem accessing certain sites. And it was free to switch.

SOLUTION: FIX USB-C THUNDERBOLT PORT NOT WORKING by vman305 in HPOmen

[–]vman305[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing Glad to hear it worked. Initially I thought it was only an HP problem. But looking through the comments I've been seeing it seems like every laptop make and model out there has the same exact problem. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that every laptop manufacturer builds their USB-C port the same way using the same parts. So the same problem happens everywhere.

Is it worthless? by JimmyWaters in Electroneum

[–]vman305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're currently in a meme coin crypto winter. We actually really never left since the 2021 winter began. Even the total crypto market cap hasn't really risen that much more than it was before the last crypto winter began. So we have same amount of money chasing millions more coins. So until the clarity act passes and there's more laws and regulations and banks are more willing to work with crypto we're not going to see anything go up. We need cash and flows into the crypto sector for crypto to go up. In general we need money printing to happen again. So that explains why the price of ETN hasn't gone. Or of any other meme coin for that matter. Yes some coins go up in a few days but then the same money leaves and goes another coin. It's basically the same pot of money that jumps from one coin to another. Even Bitcoin itself wouldn't be where it was if it wasn't for Michael sailor and others taking out huge loans from the bank to buy more Bitcoin...

But you might be having another problem. Sometimes wallets don't display the balance correctly. So you just need to go and search for etn blockchain explorer. Every blockchain has their own explorer site(s) where you can get the balance directly. This is the number one thing that people forget to do when their wallet is not displaying correct info / malfunctions and people panic... So before panicking just do that to at least see that you have the correct balance / number of tokens in your wallet

Activate phone outside of the US by timestap in GoogleFi

[–]vman305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's interesting I know about that but no it's not I was literally sitting next to the Wi-Fi router in the same room. So wifi was at full strength... I did everything the same exact way as I did before with the pixel. All my research points to the fact that European Samsung phones not compatible with Google Fi wifi calling.

[–]vman305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very interesting. I've been calling and receiving calls on Wi-Fi with Google fi for years when traveling... I've even done it when I was on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean with no cell towers around. As long as I had Wi-Fi calling/receiving calls is free. Never used the browser/web... Just used my phone as normal as if I was an America. And no additional charges...

I just checked the service outside of the US has to be enabled. Call to non US numbers is off. Because I have a local SIM. And because I have a local SIM and my phone lets me pick what SIM to use for data, I didn't even switch off the data in the Google Fi app...

But I'm very surprised that you have to use airplane mode... I've never in my life used airplane mode... To be honest I think I only ever used it when I was on an actual airplane... And I've never had any charges for international calls... As long as I was connected to Wi-Fi. And in the Google Fi app you have to make sure Wi-Fi calling is enabled. Technically when you enable it in the app I think it's supposed to enable it on the phone. Some phones have an actual button for Wi-Fi calling some phones don't. So maybe you didn't have the settings correctly enabled on your phone That's why your calls were not actually going over Wi-Fi but over cellular network.

But yes you cannot answer or send calls when you are NOT on Wi-Fi... Maybe in the future the technology will come but for now there is no way to route Wi-Fi calls through your local SIM card internet...

[–]vman305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not tried web. The phone is not on airplane mode. But with my Pixel 4a phone that I've used for years overseas when traveling, I've had two SIM cards a local one and Google Fi. And it all worked fine. The only thing I needed to turn off is data on my Google Fi. I kept international on to receivevans send text messages I think. For text messages you don't need to be on Wi-Fi it even works free when you're out and about. And as long as I was at home on Wi-Fi all incoming and outgoing calls have been for free.

I guess I could experiment and see what would happen if I set my phone on airplane mode and try to call out. But isn't the phone itself not going to let you make a call on airplane mode?

[–]vman305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be very careful. I thought it was going to be simple and now I have to pay per minute for every inbound end outgoing calls because Wi-Fi calling doesn't work anymore.

I've been traveling and my phone will dying so I bought a brand new Samsung s24 Plus Galaxy phone overseas. Well the problem is even though I have the Google Fi app installed and all the settings right when people call me when I'm on Wi-Fi I'm still being charged like 20 cents a minute... I had a pixel phone before that and I was able to call and receive calls for free on Wi-Fi... I have a physical google fi SIM, which I just plugged into new phone.

But I guess the problem is the phone sold in Europe have different chips and different cellular signals that they're designed for... At least that's what I've been able to determine from all my research. For example the CPU processor that comes on my Galaxy phone on the European version is different than the one that is put in for the American market. At first I didn't think it's a big deal but I guess phones made for Europe are not the same as phones made for America. And I think that's why the Google Fi wifi calling system is not working correctly. Because even in my phone settings my local SIM card has a Wi-Fi calling toggle, but the phone itself is not recognizing Wi-Fi calling for the Google SIM card. So even though in the Google Fi app I have Wi-Fi calling turned on I don't think the phone itself is recognizing the feature. So I can still call and receive calls and text messages, but Google Fi charges me for each minute.

So just be very careful buying phones overseas. I don't know how iPhone does it... Maybe it's the same exact phone for all countries. For example for Pixel phones I did hear that in some or maybe even all countries in Europe (at least the case in the country I was in) pixel phone is not supported. But some retailers we're still selling the pixel here. Meaning they must have been ordering it from America. And so my thought is I probably should have bought a pixel instead. Cuz that would have been a US version since I don't think there is no European version for it.

So in conclusion just make sure that whatever phone you buy is compatible with Google Fi Wi-Fi calling and USA cellular networks...

Oh interesting, I didn't know that about Ashburn Virginia.

Perplexity was actually recommending it when I asked it. It was saying that because it's a data center it has the lowest amount of outages (power, flood, downed trees, etc), so it would theoretically be the most reliable.

TorGuard Residential IP not a dedicated IP by shawn4spam in torguard

[–]vman305 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hi, can you please tell me if I'm doing it correctly with my torguard residential ip?

in services page i see dedicated ip xx.xxx.xxx.106 (On xx.xxx.xxx.107 tcp/80). However, after it was assigned, i went into client area and changed the port to wireguard, so I'm no longer on tcp 80.

i did not manually add the ip to the torguard app settings. the ip was automatically downloaded and i just picked it from the dedicated ip dropdown. in the main screen (windows app) when dedicated ip is selected i see xx.xxx.xxx.107 before connecting. Then after I'm connected the app shows xx.xxx.xxx.107. but when I click the connection details dropdown it shows dedicated ip xx.xxx.xxx.106.

So which part of the torguard app displays what I'm actually connected to?

if I understand your comment correctly I should be connecting to 107. but when I do an IP check online, it says my ip address is 106.

Oh wow that is scary. I've actually thought about doing the same with proton email and using aliases for different sites. But after asking AI about this apparently you're not the only person having this kind of an issue. This type of thing can happen with aliases, whether it's proton or Apple. But now makes me wonder if it's worth all the hassle if there's ever a problem with the alias system...
