BIOS locked HP Elitebook - Laptop otherwise works fine.

I bought this HP Elitebook 840 G10 laptop on eBay for a decent price and noticed there was a BIOS administrator password on it (blocking me from entering BIOS setup). The seller is telling me he doesn't know the password.

I was able to do a fresh install of Windows 11 and was able to deduce that there isn't any "work" or "school" account /computrace or anything that would suggest it's stolen. I was able to set it up as a personal device.

What would happen if I contact HP to help me remove the BIOS password? Would they actually help or just tell me to piss off?

What is my best solution?

EDIT: Called HP and they told me to f myself. The only way to get rid of the BIOS password is to replace the motherboard. WHICH HAS A CHARGEABLE FEE! FFFFFF

Frustating issue with my B&O Beoplay Portal (Xbox Version). Any solutions?

I've had these headphones for about 3 years and in that time I've mostly used them with my Xbox Series X, Apple Mac Mini, and iPhone 11.

I never had issues switching sound sources from the Xbox to my iPhone 11 or from the Mac to my iPhone 11. E.g. Netflix on Xbox (or Mac), click pause, then watch Youtube on iPhone 11 then back to Netflix on Xbox (or Mac). It worked seamlessly majority of times as far as I can remember. (Tbh I never really listen to the portals on my phone so can't recall if I had many issues but I probably would've remembered if it was a reoccuring issue).

About 8 months ago, I built myself a gaming PC (running Windows 11) and never noticed any issues switching from the PC to the iPhone 11.

Now here is my problem: I bought a Pixel 10 (2/3 months ago) and have noticed that everytime I try to switch between watching something on the PC (sold the Xbox + Mac to fund PC purchase) to my Pixel 10, the Pixel "thinks" its playing the Audio but it is completely silent on my headphones. I then go back to PC and it works totally fine. The Audio source on my Pixel 10 says its playing on the Portals.

I've reset the headphones, tried a bunch of settings on windows/phone, nothing seems to fix it.

Unfortunately, I am a daqan celis so I'm not very fluent in af Somali. I try to listen to what the politicians are saying and what some of the news commentators (+ the people on the ground) are saying but most of it goes over my head. Can someone provide a brief summary of whats happening? And who are the good and bad guys in this situation? I see people hating on HSM and others saying he's doing a good job and that the other leaders are trying to cause division?
