The levels she reaches are stratospheric. It is so self-evident when you listen. I am constantly impressed by where she goes; the ethereal nature of her sound; the aggression of her sound.

Windows 10, Samsung 970 PRO 512GB. After years of normal behavior, cold boots suddenly developed a ~30–60+ second black-screen delay before logon. Extensive WPA/xperf tracing localized the delay to storage-bound LSASS and LogonUI/XAML demand loading.

With Samsung NVMe Driver 3.3 (secnvme.sys), small 4–32 KB reads from the boot NVMe repeatedly took ~18–30 ms during the affected boot interval, including at shallow queue depth. After logon, the same drive returned to ~0.1 ms reads.

I changed only the NVMe controller driver from Samsung secnvme.sys 3.3.0.2003 to Microsoft's Standard NVM Express Controller (stornvme.sys). The same physical Samsung 970 PRO, same Windows install, same filesystem and same workload then booted normally. A restart, full cold boot, and instrumented boot all reproduced the fix.

In the before/after traces, 4 KB median read latency in the affected early-boot period fell from ~28.0 ms to ~0.083 ms; 16 KB from ~28.7 ms to ~0.123 ms; 32 KB from ~28.8 ms to ~0.126 ms. LSASS aggregate read waiting fell from roughly 9.65 s to 0.098 s, and LogonUI aggregate I/O latency from ~35.4 s to ~0.35 s. Winlogon dropped from roughly 59 s to about 3 s.

What could cause Samsung's secnvme.sys path to enter this boot-only high-latency regime when Microsoft's StorNVMe does not, especially given that the Samsung driver had previously worked normally for a long time?

When I heard this on the radio for the first time, everything changed for me. I dove so deep into his past work and melodic rap in general from there on out. From that point forward, melodic rap was the biggest sound I craved.

At that point it was called mumble rap; Honest as an album would be largely ignored by critics, ultimately leading Future into a much more cynical place (part of the reception is why he took such a turn, despite what you've heard/read/he's said in interviews.) I tried and failed for years convincing people on HipHopHeads and online in genreal about Future, Thug and many other's greatness.

When I saw that new sprites are coming in 2 days and the realization that this is going to be a bunch of gems and who knows what else... When will it end??

I'm at 192K and I'm pretty sure it's going to top-out soon here with all this mastering on today's Mastery Monday. I just want to make sure there's nothing I'm missing that I could be buying it with.

Incident 1: I copied a Gemini BNB Smart Chain deposit address and withdrew BNB from Kraken. Gemini later confirmed that the destination was not associated with Gemini. This was done on a Firefox browser through Gemini and Kraken's website.

Incident 2: Six months later I copied a Kraken USDC/Arbitrum One deposit address and sent from MetaMask. It again went to the exact same unrelated address. This was done through an Opera browser via MetaMask extension.

Both were performed on the same Windows computer, using different browsers. The first incident did not involve MetaMask. I have successfully copied many other crypto addresses without this happening.

Has anyone encountered malware or a clipboard utility that selectively replaces only EVM addresses or triggers only inside crypto transaction forms? What diagnostic tools and persistence locations should I inspect?

I'm trying to locate two obscure official Lumines II promotional downloads released in Japan around February 2007.

1. SegaMoba Lumines II standby images

Sega’s Japanese mobile portal, SegaMoba / セガモバ, launched a free Lumines II standby-image download service on February 15, 2007.

The original campaign page was: http://sega.jp/segamoba/nr_070214.html

These were mobile-phone wallpapers, called 待受画像 in the announcement. The number of images, filenames, formats, resolutions, and carrier-specific variants are currently unknown.

Let me know if you have these in any capacity.

2. Lumines II × Angel Love Online face-image pack

An official collaboration with Angel Love Online provided exactly 49 Lumines II face images.

Contemporary instructions specifically told users to download the images from the Angel Love Online website, select one of the downloaded characters and set it as their in-game face image. This means they were publicly downloadable assets.

Does anyone have either of these?

I'm hoping someone may still have them on an old computer or PSP memory stick -- let me know. Here is what I'm looking for:

1. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G mobile-phone theme

On March 21, 2008, an official phone-customization package was released through the Japanese service:

"イメチェン★だいすき"

It was distributed in three carrier formats:

• DoCoMo - きせかえツール

• au - EZケータイアレンジ

• SoftBank - きせかえアレンジ

The package included an animated Poogie standby screen, Monster Hunter menus and icons, battery and signal indicators, and sounds or voices featuring Felynes, Melynx and monsters.

Anything at all you can provide from this package -- artwork, etc, would be awesome!

2. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G official-site wallpapers

The Japanese Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G website distributed official desktop wallpapers as ".lzh" archives:

• "p2dg_1680_01.lzh"
• "p2dg_1280_01.lzh"

These appear to be 1680-pixel and 1280-pixel versions of wallpaper design number "01"...

Again, if you happen to have these, let me know!

3. Monster Hunter Portable 2nd official "Omake" wallpapers

The Japanese official website for the original Monster Hunter Portable 2nd had an おまけ / Omake section containing downloadable wallpapers:

• Two PSP wallpapers, probably 480×272

• PC desktop wallpapers

Your help is appreciated!!

4. "Monster Hunter Portable 2nd in TSUTAYA" wallpapers

TSUTAYA Online hosted a separate promotional feature: http://www.tsutaya.co.jp/game/sp/mhp2/index.html

It offered:

• Two PSP wallpapers

• PC wallpapers

This appears to have been a distinct TSUTAYA-branded set rather than another link to the regular Capcom wallpaper downloads.

Again, your help is appreciated for any of the above!

I'm trying to locate several official promotional downloads released through the Japanese Final Fantasy Type-0 / Final Fantasy 零式 website around 2011.

These are free wallpapers, icons, screensavers and website music offered by Square Enix, then collected by fans in a Chinese forum thread. The original Square Enix links and 115.com mirrors are now dead.

A surviving NewWise thread documents the following files:

#1. TYPE_ZERO_TWITTER_ICON.zip

• 14 official Twitter icons

• Original dead mirror: http://115.com/file/bh00t586#

• A screenshot and an altered composite of all 14 icons survive, but I am looking for the original individual image files.

#2. TYPE_ZERO_WALLPAPER.zip

• The original 10 + 5 Manga wallpapers survive, but there were apparently more...

• Two additional "Twitter Wallpapers"

• One "hidden" image / wallpaper

• Original dead mirror: http://115.com/file/dn99rhn4#

• The official site apparently organized its standard wallpapers using paths such as: http://www.square-enix.co.jp/fabula/0/images/wallpaper/H/1920x1200.jpg

#3. music.rar

• “The official website's three BGMs

• Original dead mirror: http://115.com/file/e6dd9odn#music.rar

• The BUMP OF CHICKEN song "Zero" is commercially available elsewhere, so that track is not the main preservation issue.

The relevant posts were made between October and November 2011 by users iou90 and Pentacles.

Let me know!!

This DLC will be replaced with the new music pack that is corresponding to rolling live highlights.

I would not delay on getting this DLC if it's something you want to own in the future.
