    no problem and thanks for taking a shot. probably not worth troubleshooting it any further anyway because now that i think of it, there’s also a slight possibility that it has taken damage from being carried in a backbag in cold weathers as low as -20 C, and then immediately opened up for use. that would explain why the trackpad occasionally stops working and why the battery life went from 6 hours to 2 in just 3 years. not exactly how you should handle laptops but that’s what it had to do and that’s why i bought used



  • didn’t know they added kernel anticheat to gta online, thought they just disallowed linux players. i had 5k hours on it, didn’t really play anything else for almost 10 years. dropped it entirely that day because it’s not worth using a worse OS, and turns out single player is more fun anyway with mods. will also pirate gta 6 and play it without windblows, suck my shrimp rockstar.

    HP elitebook 840 G5, i think it has a 128 GB disk, bought it used a few years ago just for school use. but linux partition has 10 and windows has 30 gigs free, it has 8 GB ram. i gave up with it and ordered a used thinkpad yesterday, I’ll put linux on that and HP can be my win laptop if i ever need it for updating firmware on anything. (still waiting for a fixed FW for my buggy ass keychron…)

    no it has a tiny ssd, but every time windows takes about 30 min to 2 hours to start because it’s configuring and updating and rebooting before i get to even log in. kubuntu starts in a minute but i have to go through a blindingly white bios menu to start it and then it can’t suspend or even shutdown properly…
