Replugging the battery, it works.
And the touch screen is working perfectly as well!

This is interesting: I've installed FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE on that laptop. However, every time I try to check the system's status with 'top', it crashes. I suspected this was due to the absence of a battery, so I tested this theory with the command sysctl hw.acpi.battery and - boom - experienced the same crash.

It seems that FreeBSD does not function well on a laptop without a battery.

Can anyone suggest a workaround or solution? I'd like to avoid re-inserting the 9-years-old worn-out battery.

HP wants you to pay up to $36/month to rent a printer that it monitors... "One of the most perturbing aspects of the subscription plan is that it requires subscribers to keep their printers connected to the Internet.... HP enforces an Internet connection by having its TOS also state that HP may disrupt the service—and continue to charge you for it—if your printer is not online." #printer #enshittification #hp #subscription https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/hp-wants-you-to-pay-up-to-36-month-to-rent-a-printer-that-it-monitors/

Don't buy anything from HP. Especially printers.

For fuck sake, subscribe to use your home printer. 🤬

This is how people start googling "can I make a Molotov out of printer ink" and "pitchfork stores near me".
