Can’t uninstall OneDrive

So for the past couple of weeks, OneDrive just stopped synching and was impossible to uninstall and reinstall. I did all the steps as advised in various Google search results. All of them failed. OneDrive just can’t be uninstalled. In an un-related forum thread, somebody asked for a good software removal tool and responses pointed to Geek Uninstaller. So I tried this tool and the bloody, pesky OneDrive was finally removed! I selected “Force Removal”. Once removed, OneDrive re-installation finally proceeded and files are being synched now. All good! Kudos to  http://geekuninstaller.com/

SVS PB-1000 Pro

Image
Added an SVS PB-1000 Pro subwoofer today to my workstation. This setup forms a 2.1 setup with Audioengine A5+ speakers. SVS PB-2000 Pro (left) and PB-1000 Pro (right): Study room is quite small at 3.5m x 4m. Using REW software & UMIK-1 microphone, I confirm that there's no difference at my listening position (in front of the workstation ) whether the subwoofer is on the floor or on top of a drawer. So I put the unit on top and is behind me:
