you may have bought a fake battery. if you can return it, I would. See if HP sells the battery directly or not.

KS is the ultra binned version of the 12900k. its almost completely not worth it unless you're trying to get world records and need the best silicon.

https://www.howtogeek.com/117890/how-to-force-an-application-to-use-a-specific-network-card/ this is an extremely old article so it may or may not work now. i have never used this so proceed with caution. I take no responsibility if something goes wrong.

use DDU to reinstall video drivers. if that doesnt help, try running the built in memory diagnostics tool (if you're on windows)

well then another question is why you're using win7? its old, and not supported by microsoft anymore. unless this is for a business computer/software, theres no reason to continue using win7.

why are you using an outdated version of python? Edit: 3.8 is from like 3 years ago

you really need all of those apps running all the time? i would rather unsinstall the stuff you dont actually use and then disable startup of the things you dont need immediately.

Do you plan to buy all of this now or can you wait? new hardware is on the horizon so you can either get these parts for cheaper in the next couple of months, or for the same price, get much faster hardware. the cooler is extremely overkill for a 5600x. id rather get a better quality psu rather than going for rgb which you will not even see

also try to avoid using the app xfi provides. do you have direct access to the router gateway and can you change the settings from there?

your public IP will always be the same for anything behind a NAT. You cannot have 2 IPs with 1 connection. you have private IPs and Public IPs. you can set up port forwarding if you have access to the router to allow public access to a pc through a specific port, but the IPs will be the same.

yes. when you install your OS, there is always an option to change the partitions somewhere. and if you're using windows at least, it has the option to format it right there.

have you tried reinstalling icue?

what happens if you run icue in admin mode?

is it an asus laptop? quick google search results in something about armoury crate and icue mixing together being the problem.

do you have anything from kingston in your pc?

if you unplug all storage media and boot, what happens

why not just get one of those intel ax201 (or similar) wifi cards instead of getting a dedicated "wifi mobo". getting a separate module is often cheaper and you get full control of what exact mobo you want.

Im glad we could all come together to explain why this person is wrong in a constructive manner rather than becoming twitter and bashing people just uhh... ignore the last line in the 1st response I made to this

well what i said (ignoring the 1st paragraph) still applies to what you said, including your response just now. you need to stop being so damn combative. idk about everyone, but many perceive linux to be a fringe "neckbeard" OS and the way you are taking here isnt changing that image people have. "I use arch BTW" Its not linus's job to know exactly how everything works, thats the fucking point of the video. hes learning, and showing you his journey. if he didnt know majaro does not come with apt and uses pacman, thats not his fault. obs not supported on majaro officially is not his fault either. if you want to be pedantic about it, bash technically does have a way to find out what distro you are using. ever heard of neofetch or is that just bloat to you, mr arch btw?

you can use GPU-z to look at the PerfCap reason. it will tell you why the GPU is not performing at its max (could be power, temp, frequecny, voltage limit, etc)

i think you need to chill... Linus nuked his pop installation because he got a wall of text and didnt read what it said in its entirety. are you saying you read the entire terms and conditions when you sign up for something? Probably not. you just click next/accept. thats the same thing linus did. there was no indication for a normal person that this command would nuke his computer. thats the point of the video. to show what its like for the normal person. This situation was Pop_os's fault, not linus. they had some problems with the dependancies which have now been fixed. you need to see this from the perspective of a NORMAL person who does not know how to use a computer and 99% of the time just uses their computer as a web browser. Linus uses windows, so I dont expect him to fully understand how linux works. sure, he uses it daily for all of the networking stuff etc, but still. his main system is windows. im going to go out on a limb and say YOU are the reason people dont use linux.

6-8 hours with all those applications open will not happen afaik. thats a lot of load to put on a laptop so I would expect more like 5-6 hours even on a good battery

is that its only use case? do you want to game on it? what is your budget? how long do you want the battery to last?

do you specifically want headphones, or are earbuds ok?

Sorry for the confusion. I would like to make a correction. you are looking at the 2021 model of the TUF F15. that one Im not sure about. the 2020 model was the one with problems.
