TBH, this is a pretty standard rate of emailing for a marketing push, especially when you're trying to "convert" someone who already showed interest. These aren't unsolicited if you started making an account, and they're reminding you to finish it.
 
If you have a problem with those emails, use the unsubscribe link in the email.

The question is indeed did you click the unsubscribe link and still receive them? Because it's all standard, only if they don't respect your requests to shut up would it become shady.

Yes. Does anyone care? Nope. Private platform and rules visible to anyone who bothers to read. You don't follow rules, we censor.

@Los_Jackal just an FYI, if you do this and the link stops working in the future, it's likely because the IP address for your desktop had expired and DHCP from your router provided a different IP address instead of renewing the old one. 
 
One way to combat this is to set the IP for your desktop to a static IP, that way the address for the desktop will always remain the same even if the entire network gets rebooted due to a power outage or whatever. The same can be done to share a local printer, effectively making it a network printer.  

Use \\[IP address]\Share Drive\ instead of \\TV-PC\Share Drive\.
 
Sometimes the local domain names don't get registered properly with your gateway, so IPs are the foolproof method.

Hash algorithms are deterministic? If I hash my password or the AD server hashes my password, it's still the same hash... so why send encrypted-but-plaintext password when you could send encrypted-and-hashed password? Why have a remote cleartext step at all? All the server needs to do is compare the hashes, it doesn't need to know the original password string, right? Seems like a massive security hole to have cleartext passwords in RAM outside the client PC.

My understanding of password validation is that they compare the "encrypted"/hashed values. Passwords shouldn't ever be "decrypted", I'm pretty sure, especially if the "encryption" is a hash algorithm that is computationally very expensive to reverse.

Hire an electrician before you hurt someone. There's no shame in admitting you don't know, and a bruised ego is better than a smoldering pile of ash.

What is using the CPU?
 
How did you configure the CPU in the VM? Cores? Performance limit?
 

that's a lot of money for someone else's e-waste.

Sounds like there's a short in the laptop and the brick is shutting down to prevent damage.

QSV = Quicksync, which is an Encoder chip on the iGPU of intel CPUs.
 
Everything is working as intended.

Actually, I saw this exact MO a week or two ago: make a simple post, get a few responses, make another post later that day, then go nuclear without provocation.

Just saying it's a pattern, not an incident.

But I bet that FancyZones would be fine

That still requires a DisplayPort input. My initial question is "why not just use an DP MST hub and two active DP->HDMI adapters?" The only usecase I see is for Macs, which don't support MST (for some reason)...
 
I'd get a DisplayLink adapter (not a knockoff one). They actually work pretty well for 2D stuff (I can even watch Youtube without issues on mine).

Basic video out, as mentioned above, can be had with DisplayLink based devices. I've had good luck in the past with Plugable's line. These will work with any Type A or C USB 3.0 capable port, it does not need to support video. They're essentially basic "GPU's" that are software driven but for simple text/browsing output they work perfectly fine. I ran the DisplayPort model to a 2560x1600 60Hz display for years.

Doesn't exist (practically). HDMI can only support one "display" worth of data at a time; HDMI splitters will just mirror one display onto two (identical) ones.
 
A USB-A to HDMI adapter may fit your needs if you aren't doing anything graphically intense on one of your extra displays.

Does the sata power have 3.3v? Try cutting/removing th 3v3 power as its often used for drive spindown on these drives.  The drives should spinup even with no data connection.
