"New Team" theory

Spoilers for all of S2 ahead!

Short and sweet: we can be pretty much 100% certain that the "new team" were Lumen plants, right?

Two things that tipped me off:

-They seemed a little bit *too* naive when asking Mark questions about the outside; iirc innies retain their semantic memory and some of their questions struck me as odd when viewed with that in mind. This one is slightly less compelling given the innies' reactions to the ORTBO.

-The main thing, though, is this: that one dude with the accent says they had a rope instead of an elevator. I didn't clock this my first watch because of how funny I think the joke is from a writing perspective but, like... It's also 110% impossible? We see that anytime outies switch to their innies and vice-versa they basically lose all bodily control for a few seconds (to the extent that Mark literally killed that one dude in the elevator unintentionally). How the *fuck* would someone in the midst of climbing up or down a rope not immediately break their neck when the switch happens?

Idk what plot relevance this'll have (if any), and admittedly he could just be referring to some kind of "you are secured with rope and lifted/lowered by workers at the top & bottom" situation, but my gut feeling is that they're plants. What do you guys think?

Weird charging problem

Hi all! I'm on an HP Omen BP1Q1UA#ABA and having a weird charging problem I could use some help sorting out.

So the other day I noticed that, despite my battery level staying consistent, my Omen wasn't detecting that it was plugged in, nor could I get the battery level to increase. I was able to fix it with the help of HP Tech Support by resetting BIOS settings to defaults. Unfortunately, though, the fix stopped working the moment the laptop was unplugged and then plugged back in; battery level being maintained but no recognition that it's plugged in and no ability to charge the battery past what it's currently at.

I'm about to reset the BIOS settings again to see if that will fix it at least as long as I keep the laptop plugged in. Assuming it does, and that the same thing happens again, does anybody have any advice for making this solution stick a little more permanently? I get the impression that maybe one of my applications is fucking with the BIOS settings and maybe messing things up that way but I have no idea how to find which one it is. Any help is appreciated!
