Is that the SSD or the HDD?

How would you usually locate the folders?

Z370 works with a recent enough BIOS.
Gigabyte Z390 M Gaming, Gaming X or Gaming SLI, unless you care about onboard sound, ASRock Z390 Extreme 4, MSI MPG Carbon, MPG Edge AC are usually the cheapest Z390 mobos with decent VRMs.

Does that mean nigger is an acceptable nickname as long as it's not typed during the match?
Or does every letter have to be typed by a different person?

Should work. Any correctly created boot drive won't even be able to tell which OS was used to create it.

Windows boot media is always a gamble. I mean Windows is barely functional on a good day.
Disable Secure Boot. That might be causing problems, blocking all non-Windows boot media and 90% of Windows boot media because the verification fails anyway. Theoretically Ubuntu supports secure boot but let's just avoid it altogether for now. Maybe even enable CSM in case it's an older version without UEFI support.

Yep, sounds like secure boot. FYI it's named secure boot because it's not secure and mostly prevents booting.
Windows is generally a mess so let's not try to figure out why W8.1 install media is extremely weird (just like W8.1 itself) and W10 is probably confused since it was installed with secure boot on and now is trying to boot with it disabled. Or it's just very fucked.

It went through the usual approval procedures but there was no coercion. GE isn't even happy about it because they overpaid.

They announced that they would suspend everything because US IP is involved. This is the "nod and comply" stage. Keep in mind that Huawei is still paying them because they still build more ARM chips, just support has been cut.
Because the A76 was designed in Austin they can't even send an updated manual because that's US IP.
Guess what's going to happen with next years CPUs? Either Huawei will continue to use what they've already licensed and keep paying ARM for that or by then ARM will have figured out what's US IP and what isn't. They didn't have to keep track of this until but now they'll do it by the book and then they can still sell Huawei something instead of watching a significant portion of their revenue disappear while twiddling their thumbs.

Step 1: Get any bootable USB drive or CD/DVD, probably Linux, boot and copy everything you might need from the SSD to the HDD.
Step 2: Check the SSD status (S.M.A.R.T.). If it's fucked then you know what the problem is.
Step 3: Maybe delete WoW (probably broken now anyway) or anything else that can be redownloaded easily to make some space. It's 16nm 2D NAND so it might just be running out of write endurance. Step 2 should tell you this but if you used the "full" size of the SSD then you'd have 239 GiB partition with <10 GiB free and ~27 GiB of for the SSD controller to shift around, meaning if 28 GiB of flash are broken at this point it's going to be very unhappy.
Step 4: If it still doesn't boot but the SSD is fine it's either a different hardware problem or Windows. You can try booting from another HDD/SSD, but if it booted from USB/CD/DVD then it's probably just Windows.
Step 5: You can try fixing Windows (boot fucked, Windows fucked in general, whatever) which is a pain in the ass or just reinstall since you saved everything you need in step 1.

No, everyone wanted that except the public, but we don't ask those guys anymore on account of them having stupid ideas all the time like "actually trying to at least not help people violate human rights".

Alstom has been a publicly listed company since 1998 and since then has never been 100% french-owned? Or are we talking about a different Alstom? In what universe is acquisition of a publicly traded company coercing the EU?
I think you underestimate how complicated this is. They can penalize ARM for not complying but ARM will comply. The USA simply got no jurisdiction in the EU. Any company that's 100% outside of the US can just laugh in their face. There is no need to comply. What are the US going to do? Invade? ARM is partially in the US so they are vulnerable to fines and more drastic and more complicated things, but that doesn't mean they won't do everything that's legal to keep the business going.
Trump doesn't have a magic "because I say so button" that he can press and then everyone has to comply.
If you want a good example take a look at Panasonic. In the US they released a statement containing a monster of a sentence that begins with "We’ve stopped all business transactions with Huawei and its 68 group companies" and ends with "that are subject to the US government ban".
In China they've released a statement containing "Huawei has always been an important partner with Panasonic Corp. We will continue to sell commodities and provide service to our Chinese clients like Huawei, according to the law and regulations of the country and region which Panasonic Corp is located. By helping China, we will help our business grow in China too."
I think you know what that means. US import and export regulations apply in the US. Japanese import and export regulations apply in Japan. It would be absurd to apply the US tariffs on Chinese goods in Japan, right? Same thing witht the export ban. Of course the US could absolutely throw a fit, freeze Panasonic North America's assets and shoot themselves in the foot by hurting only their own economy but other than that their options are limited. They can fine Panasonic NA and any US court is going to overturn that instantly because Panasonic NA is not responsible for what's happening in Japan under the control of their parent company. They can try fining Panasonic for doing in Japan what's legal by Japanese law but I don't think that's going to go very far either.

Didn't watch the video and not planning to. tl;dr how was the EU coerced?

There's not much about the 80s trade war in that article? The short version is that the Japanese exported fewer cars to the US (good), built some factories in the US (good) but also bypassed the volume restrictions by sellling more expensive cars which had been a staple of the US manufacturers instead of just selling cheap cars which the US manufacturers had little to no stake in (bad). They exported fewer electronics to the US, but neither the US nor Japan bought more US electronics, instead it shifted to Korea and Taiwan (bad). Despite the stronger Yen the Japanese economy was virtually unaffected. They exported less into the US and more into SEA but nothing really changed. In fact it went too well. The lowered interest rates (to balance out the stronger Yen) which turned out not to be needed were never raised, leading to a bubble which fucked the Japanese economy and then kept it stagnat for almost a whole decade in the 90s.
End result: Not much changed for the US, Japan kind of fucked themselves by being too greedy or they'd still be at 50-60% of the US GDP.
Keep in mind that this trade war ended "amicably". Slightly negative effects for both (which Japan overcorrected) and that's it.
Keep in mind that Japan was massively depending on the US at the time. The share of exports to the US was significantly higher than China's is today and they absolutely needed the US protection against China and Russia. The US still did not get a great deal out of them.

No one quits TF2.
No one.

Any news?

This is technically off-topic but too good not to share.
On the topic of making China comply with Trump's demands:
"They have Walmarts firmly established in China. If a Walmart near you closed up shop, how would your neighbors react?"
Ladies and Gentlemen, we've found the winning strategy. This is the 300 IQ move that Trump needs to end this. Just take their Walmarts. Xi Jinping will cave within seconds.

Of course, it's not terrible, but the fanatical RISC purists pushed through some weird stuff.
E.g. no adressing modes and no predication. For both it's obvious that the real reason is ideological but officially they argue that compilers will be confused by too many choices (really?) and that the hardware can just take care of it for free (which is horribly wrong). The end result is that
1. They needlessly increased the code size, while still arguing that RISC-V is denser than anything else, which is only true if you compare compressed/variable length instructions, which the RISC purists don't really want to implement because VLE is evil and not RISC, and ignore the fact that other VLEs are even denser THUMB(2) and x86 included. Hell even M68K and VAX are denser. So it's denser than MIPS but that's about it all because of some fanatics stuck in the 80s. That's disappointing.
2. They don't have predication which is extremely useful in dealing with unpredictable branches, even more so in microcontrollers with not as sophisticated branch predictors (but they argue they'd have to choose between predication and branch prediction, which is complete BS, so only branch prediction is the better choice), and is also the least costly mitigation for various Spectre-style vulnerabilities. You planned on running JavaScript on a RISC-V CPU? Well tough shit, that's going to cost you.

If they somehow fuck up vector/packed SIMD instructions as well it'll be a lot less useful than it could've been. At that point you might as well use MIPS (open source now), which is actually finished and works, including some unimportant things like interrupts, at the cost of oh no, slightly worse code density.
RISC-V was supposed to be "RISC done right" and the first open source architecture except in some regards they seem to not have learned from the last 20 years so it's just another RISC architecture like half a dozen others and because it's not actually finished it's not even the first open source ISA.

None of these are examples of the USA coercing the EU though?
Not sure what you mean with Alstom.
ARM is refering to this one? What does the EU have to do with it?
T-Mobile vs Huawei? Where's the EU involved?

The last time the USA tried was vs Japan and that didn't go to well but pick any example. This isn't zero-sum mercantilism.

You probably shouldn't use Taiwan as an example because the USA do not recognize it officially.
They're not trying to annex it, but officially they very much recognize the PRC and the PRC only, which means that on paper the USA actually agree that Taiwan is part of the PRC.
The USA effectively recognized that the PRC owns Taiwan but throws a fit any time they suggest that they might want to send some armed bois to actually take that island. No one forced them to recognize the PRC instead of the ROC in 1979 except the sweet sweet siren call of money, so there's no moral high ground to be had for them in this issue.

The artificial islands are in the South China Sea (which is quite a ways from the Sea of Japan) and a different issue.

Compared to what it could be the USA is quite a shit show right now and gets no brownie points for not being as bad as Russia or China. They don't get any points for being better than North Korea either.
Technically torturing and killing your own citizens is also less legally questionable than doing it with foreign citizens. Still morally and ethically wrong, but legal if you make it legal. Not any better than the USA going god knows where doing god knows what waving their self-written "permission to do whatever the fuck I want" but arguably not any worse.

No one.
Remember the last trade war?

The instruction set is not a problem. That's all ARM UK, Huawei already got a license for it and worst case they don't really care. If the US ban all imports by Huawei what are they going to do if Huawei continues to use chips with ARM CPUs made by HiSilicon (owned by Huawei, located in China) manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan, which the the US claims doesn't actually exist. How would they stop them?

Also keep in mind that is going to be mostly about bureaucracy. 2 out of ARMs 3 design teams are in Europe. So Cortex-A76 = bad, designed in Austin, but they can't stop it because HiSilicon is already manufacturing that. A77 or whatever the next one will be called is probably a Sophia (France) design again so Trump can't do jack shit. A55 and so on are all Cambridge so again ARM can do whatever they want.

They are complying now to not anger the orange and will slowly figure out what they're allowed to export, whether or not giving Huawei a manual written by someone in Texas is a threat to national security and if so have someone from Cambridge rewrite it.

There are some other chips that Huawei/HiSilicon do physically buy from US companies but nothing completely irreplacable. ARM is the least of their worries because they are not a US company and don't need to keep up continous supply of physical chips.

Android isn't ideal because their own OS isn't quite where they want it to be or they wouldn't switched already, but again not irreplacable.

tl;dr
Huawei can keep making smartphones no matter what Trump comes up with.
The US is 15% or something like that of global smartphones sales at this point and almost half of that is Apple (compared to <20% globally) so Huawei isn't terribly hurt by losing that market.

#2
Not really, they still license ARM's designs. But they can keep using and tweaking what they've already got or get non-US designs from ARM.
The US is not the only western market and no other western market has banned Huawei yet. It's a setback in the US and only the US for now.

#5
Not happening.
Also fuck RISC-V for various reasons.
