Dyes and cutting oils are always a potential health hazard. We used to have to regularly read the riot act to the maintenance crew to change their overalls when they got oily, as cancer of the scrotum was almost the mark of a maintenance fitter or machinist. (Mechanics tend to use that area as their primary wiping point).
Tell your G’son that it isn’t healthy to walk around in oily gear.
It was definitely the software fuse!
All you need do now is think what you plug into that port and not overload it. For example plugging in a hub with PV stick and external HDD are certain to make it fail. Use a powered hub if you have to do anything like that.
I’d go one stage further than suggested by Alan. Show all USB Devices, (including old redundant ones). Delete the redundant/disconnected ones then do as Alan suggests.
If you change a USB device sometimes Windows will not correctly pick up the change and contention results. (normally replacement mice/keyboards from same manufacturer cause issues)
When a port fails it MAY be because its software fuse has ‘blown’ the cure is a fuse reset. link
Blown usb fuses are usually due to a carp device that draws too much power for example PV sticks often run very close to the limits of a usb2 port.
I once worked for a woman who at one time was the maintenance officer in charge of a US Marine Harrier Squadron. I suspect that she had great respect for a whole bunch of things that she did not actually buy! (Btw she was an excellent boss). So ‘most’ maybe but that has not been my personal experience.
Just one comment from a Food Inspector friend. Always wash a tin lid (or bottle neck) before opening it. As a minimum give it a wipe with an Anti-bacterial wipe.
The reason is that warehouses and stores are rarely rat-proof, and a rats pees all the time if it urinates on the tin lid/bottle neck and that touches the food/drink then you could get in deep doodah with Wiel’s disease.
Drinking out of a bottle/can is a bad habit, as is letting a tin lid drop into the food.
Wheels I could reply but it will get too far off topic, and into deep politics.
Ed We voted out of the EU get over it
The country was lied to and voted on a lie. So no, I’ll not get over it.
IMO what killed the Windows Store (and phone) was M$ trying to milk developers and mistreating them by continually changing the supported software.There was no stability and you paid £000’s to find that out.
Development on the Android is free, and even development on Apple has a relatively low cost of entry (assuming you have bought into their exorbitantly expensive hardware). On Windows you pay a fortune to get a full developers pack for Visual Studio.
Was it surprising that developers went where they were welcomed?
The following is a very abbreviated version of the full Nokia story here.
Microsoft bought (and accidentally killed) the Nokia manufacturing setup as a factory to make the ill-fated (no app developer support) Windows phone. Most reviewers liked the phone’s build quality but said the Windows Store products were sparse and not very good and as a result panned the phone.
Nokia retained the brand-name and a large number of their key development engineers.
All told a big M$ fail, and a long-term monetary win for Nokia.
Richard if you are not taking probiotics/yoghurt then start, also *warm miso soup helps repopulate the lower intestine who’s good bugs are very vulnerable to antibiotics. If these are not in good shape then 4am stomach gripes are a common symptom.
*a spoonful of brown miso in a cup of hot (NOT boiling) water gives a fair helping of good bugs . (Warning it does lower the heart rate over a period of regular use – possibly due to arterial cholesterol being removed. The heart rate lowering effect is scientifically noted the reason has not so far been researched afaik.)
I personally hope we get another referendum, at least people will know WHAT they are going to get and not some ‘ Bulldozer laying’ Bojo git’s broken promises. Then if that says Brexit – so be it, I still won’t like it but I’d not continue carping about broken promises, or saying ‘told you so’ when Eire/Ulster is used as a soft unpoliced border for economic migrants.

Where I’m getting confused on this one is CPU vs GPU. I thought D-Dan favoured GPU only, in which case why bother about a higher end CPU? and vice versa
Dan’s hobby is Blender, and I guess he would like to do his rendering more quickly. The CPU/GPU equation is unfortunately a difficult question to answer being based not only on scene size/complexity but also things like Shaders and a bunch of other factors. I think he would like as much of both as he can get with a slight bias towards the best affordable GPU with the biggest practical on-board ram. Ditto CPU but again difficult to balance versus GPU. I think more cores is probably equal to more flexibility given all the rendering unknowns.
PGP is often used and accepted by (some) solicitors as it gives a verifiable signature and the signature is linked to the contents as sent. You can (if you wish) and your version allows send a PGP signed but non-encrypted missive. (The recipient then need only use PGP to verify the signature)
Dan, a question/consideration for you. Why SIX SATA ports? I assume as you only want ports you are using existing drives.
If these drives are only used irregularly I’d suggest you look at treating a number of them as external drives attached via USB3 and copy across contents as required. If you want super-fast drives I’d also suggest that you use a ram drive, or a pci-e connected m drive, and copy from the external drives to the super-fast drive as required. Other than being Apple based this is the way my #1 son works as he cannot afford the Apple-tax on hardware. (he has nearly 100 terabytes of graphic assets – textures etc). He saves money but needs a little organisation in his disk storage, and uses a server to fire over the data as needed – space permitting you could repurpose your existing machine as a server.
Belgium is supposedly going to play to lose against England in order to get a better quarter final draw. The Belgium match could be super boring if both teams play the same tactics!
Im just going to describe one of NTFS’s self healing features here because I can’t help myself ?
That changed over the Win8/10 period and is the main reason that dual booting Win10 with earlier versions of Windows is fraught with issues if you have and use config (or similar) files in the earlier version. Windows seems to treat these like Win10 owned system files and keeps a hash or something of their contents. If the earlier version changes this config file, Windows 10 will ‘helpfully’ repair it as soon as it is booted. This causes issues and can even result in corrupted files in the earlier version.
Best not to use dual boot, and frankly with the speed of modern VMs there is no real excuse to do so.
Bah! Broadcom has released a buggy update for Raspbian and wlan0 still crashes fairly frequently. The iwconfig wlan0 power off addition fixes one Broadcom bug, but others remain.
Broadcom are investigating together with Raspberry Pi people but nothing so far. .You can follow the action or inaction on this GitHub thread.
From the thread in my case it may be the crappy wifi output from BTHubs that initiates the Broadcom crash as one person reported that the crash occurs when wifi is lost.
Phoronix have some (May 2018) Ryzen benchmarks, and you may wish to dig into the Blender Barbershop GPU benchmarks too.
