Anyone have that question which is a duplicate of numerous question which explains the reason the EFI partition has a drive letter due to a bug in 1803?
I started getting warnings about running out of space on my E: drive.
I've read many articles, threads and posts online about how to clean the drive but none of them resolved my issue.
My machine specs:
OS: Win 10 Pro
Version: 1803
OS build: 17134.1

@Ramhound, that's the one, although I actually have a pair of the duplicates in my bookmarks because they provide a more thorough answer. Sometimes, short-and-sweet isn't the ideal way to author a solution.
PCIe 1.0 is very, very odd here. Benchmarks are inconsistent with this result: I'm getting 1.2 GB/s sequential read speed and 800 MB/s sequential write speeds in CrystalDiskMark; these numbers are within specification for this SSD (it's not the fastest NVMe disk out there) and the read speed exceeds what PCIe 1.0 x4 allows.
@Ramhound full disclosure: I authored an answer to one of the duplicate questions after performing advanced Google searches within the Super User realm to ensure that it hadn't been asked already. It was only after my answer was posted, accepted, and marked as a duplicate that the person who wrote the answer in your referenced question went back to it seven weeks later and edited the title to include (new Recovery drive since Windows 10 1803), as well as the windows-10-v1803 tag.
HMM.... with an external "room air circulation" fan pointed into my computer case (a Vornado model that can move a pretty serious CFM rating on full blast), I get much better core temps on my GPU, CPU and RoC when I run the fan at a moderate speed than when I run it high/maxed.
on 90-100% speed, the inside of the case feels physically hot, probably because the cooler air is just bouncing off or something? I don't know
at 55% speed, temps are sustained at 56 C while playing ESO
@bwDraco I think the fan pushes/compresses all the hot air into the case and traps it there at high RPM, but at moderate RPM it supplies cool air and gives it enough room to ventilate out the warm air
I created an image backup and restored it to a VHD file. The original drive has three primary partitions. It also has two CDRom drives, shown as the first two volumes. This is how diskpart lists the volumes of the original disk:

I want to use The Open Racing Car Simulator 1.3.7 (C/C++ project) with python (I have Python 3.6.7 installed, removed other python versions). I was able to install the application and the patch 2.0 (contains xml, rbg, makefile, sh, dll files) for the server.
Now I am getting the following error...

This is news to me. I never knew Valve had something like this.
@Bob Backblaze B2 costs $0.01 per GB of downstream transit; the first 1 GB per day is free. Uploads bandwidth is free.
I've had to retrieve data from B2 to recover from FS corruption on one of my external hard drives at one point and it was $0.02 per GB to retrieve at the time.
I'm going to consider the secondary backup drive unreadable and reformat it. I'm not going to bother. The most valuable data there is stored elsewhere as well. Whatever photos are not in the primary backup are in Backblaze B2 (just under 100 GB); it'll cost me less than $2 to retrieve it all. As for the rest of the data, it's mainly obsolete, low-value, or stored elsewhere.
I now have more than 500 GB of data stored in B2. Even if it's $5/TB, it's immediate-access and not subject to long delays or high retrieval costs.
I'm still looking into my boot delay and in the systemd journal found that apparently systemd is trying to run the cryptography setup for some usb device, although none is connected and none is listed in fstab
"Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-00a69115\x2d956d\x2d41b3\x2d830c\x2d9a3878087d41.device.
Dependency failed for Cryptography Setup for cr_usb-General_USB_Flash_Disk_0349315060001623-0:0-part2."
Okay I found the device entry in systemd, now I only need to see how to disable that
Line 67 lists the device that is invainly waited for on boot, listed here as inactive / dead. I couldn't identify the actual device by the id as there's nothing here, could this just be a remaining entry of a already removed device? I interpret the two lines I posted earlier as this being some usb disk that was connected at some point
@Bob IDK, no matter what Amazon promised, if I was running a company with tons of data worth archiving, I wouldn't trust them with my data. As a secondary archive, maybe. But I'd still have an on-site tape archive. But that's just me.
I've talked/ranted about it here before, but TL;DR: To get into a decent CS course here, I have to get >95% combined in any four out of my five subjects
@JourneymanGeek we're talking the people who spend $300+ on BT headphones and get annoyed at the lack of high-quality audio at the same time as mic usage
@Bob is there a Plantronics headset that does aptX LL for A2DP and has Class 1 range competitive with the Beats Solo3 Wireless? If so, I might be able to get rid of my Blue Yeti and switch to Plantronics for better sound quality on my desktop
though that would probably entail using a different pair of cans for desktop vs. phone use, because AAC is the best quality codec supported on iPhone, so the Beats stay around for when I'm on the go.
(or at work in-person, since I don't bring my good aptX LL adapter to work)
my BT adapter is an Avantree Oasis, and it delivers sound over toslink, which is more reliable for me, because my USB stack (on my one and only USB 3.0 controller) is buggy as fuck and flakes out, causing the motherboard's USB BT chipset to disconnect sporadically
I would rather them be slightly less comfortable and with worse NC if the range is better, TBH
limited mic range is okay, I very rarely talk if I'm up from my desk, but it would be nice to lie in bed and be able to talk on Discord while listening to music
the open mic mode is nowhere near as good as the sony one, a fair bit of noise
the sony open mic is amazing... I walk with open mic now and music sounds perfectly fine (w/ outside noise, cause safer to walk with situational awareness)
noise doesn't bother me - I slept soundly with this thing at like 79 percent output right on the floor beneath my head, blowing into my computer case the other night :P vornado.com/shop/circulators-fans/…
The only 2.4 GHz traffic generated in my room would be - 1. My microwave :P -- both when communicating to the WiFi router for Alexa commands (2.4 GHz only) and when heating food 2. A2DP for my current pair of headphones (and the modmic BT, I guess) 3. Logitech Unifying for my MX Master 2S?
our security cams, laptop/smartphone WiFi are all on 5 GHz, and a lot of our neighbors have moved to 5 GHz for WiFi
well, as someone who's lightly (barely) tested "OK Google" (Google Assistant); heavily tested "Hey Siri" (iOS); and now starting to use Alexa with an Echo Show -- my opinion is that Alexa is the fastest to respond, and has the most useful info. Also Alexa is super good for home automation
Siri is probably fine for home automation for devices that support Apple HomeKit but Siri is still slow as fuck - I think the speech to text must be cloud based and not particularly fast at that
but Siri is nearly useless at "knowledge" questions except "what's the weather like"
and it isn't the device, either -- the fastest iOS device, the new iPad Pro, is still really slow at Siri.
3-5 seconds for a response, whereas Alexa comes back in about 1 second
it's mostly a configurator for Alexa devices/skills
I need to figure out why my USB 3.0 host controller flakes out so often, because otherwise that modmic BT receiver is likely to crap out on me a few times an hour
@Burgi They're mildly creepy and there's just about no way I'd use them with my phone, but I can see the usefulness with a watch. Because typing on a watch sucks.
In my state you're allowed to "make a selection" on your phone, like picking a song, and technically they shouldn't pull you over for that, but texting or keeping your attention on the screen is a no-no. But using Apple CarPlay with the dash stereo/touchscreen is apparently fine
16 for L, 1 year to 17 to P1, 1 year to 18 for P2, 2 years to 20 for full
but I don't drive much so I only got L at 18 and then spent 3+ years getting the hours required for P1, then sat there for a while before bothering with the test for P2, ...
the yeras ^ are min times, btw... you can hang on to the licences for much longer than the min
@Bob clarification, can't use them for navigation either
@bwDraco it's not too far off from being two 1080s on a single die, isn't it? and with architectural and memory bandwidth improvements to help it scale.... I think it's a much better approach to have a centralized work scheduler that's aware of the entire GPU's low level state and can efficiently parcel out work for high utilization
the old way that Nvidia and AMD used to make beastly cards, is they'd just build two separate flagship dies and mount them on the same card, each with their own DDR
then they'd be "glued" together loosely, but you wouldn't get anywhere near double the performance of a one-die card
AMD is just not able to compete. NVIDIA managed to get TSMC to give them a customized process, that's how much money NVIDIA has. AMD is cash-strapped and can't do the same.
Perhaps their chiplet approach might work...
I actually think chiplets would be an ideal fit for GPU technology.
But it doesn't look like AMD will be producing a chiplet-based graphics card anytime soon.
