So, I have a HP Omen 17 laptop with GTX 1070 and no IGPU (glorious HP disabled it in the motherboard, and hid the enable option in the bios). Without Intel GPU, those intel-based brightness kext will not work. If those kexts do not work, then the brightness cannot work. If the brightness cannot work, my eyes suffer. If my eyes suffer, then I cannot see at night. If I cannot see at night, then stuff happens...

...you see where I am going with this?

For the sake of personal security, please teach me, if you know any, methods to dim the darn 100% bright display.

P.S, I am using a brightness slider from App Store for now..(It covers the screen with a black shade, without actually dimming the display (what's the difference between this and the native way?).
