did you try turning xmp off?
 

That would be an interesting question. How easy is it to get your stuff warehoused by Amazon? I hate that company, but I have never bought anything LTT because shipping is so bloody expensive and I can imagine others feel similarly. It would make the most sense for add-ons, given that you would have to spend another 20USD to ship your 10, 20USD order.

have you done any form of maintenance or diagnostics to the machine?

Seems like you have your answer here, why upgrade if your workload doesn't require it.

specifically the 1500x700mm. they have been out of stock for i think over a year if not longer, and it seems like the newer designs don't have multiple sizes anymore.
 
would be nice to update the store page to remove the sizes that aren't coming back so I know what I can reasonably expect will be available size wise.

I'm with you on this 1000%
World's End really missed the mark for me. 

I've probably seen both Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the dead 20 times each. but for whatever reason World's End just doesn't have the same juice to me.

I get pixel phones. Which I know is antithetical to your point, but I don't think there is a way around it. the pixel 6a is $349 and has security updates through mid 2027.

don't use chatGPT to choose hardware. it doesn't know jack about the world after 2021, so its knowledge of pricing current models, future releases, found problems, is very poor. just use pcpartpicker.

Make a  zip / 7z arhive of that folder - use ultrafast or no compression, doesn't matter, just 7z the folder and then copy the archive over and unpack it. It will be faster. 
7-zip is better because it's multithreaded, the SSD can read lots of stuff in parallel to speed things up.
When you use 7-zip it reads multiple files in parallel and creates the archive, so the data is read super fast. Same for unpacking. 
 
When you use copy in windows, it  opens a file, copies chunk of it, waits until it gets confirmation the data is written, closes the created file on the destination drive, then starts working on second file and so on... 
Your antivirus may also scan each file Explorer accesses in the background, slowing it down. 
 
 

In general to find other options. I have no experience with much software, but I do know that you should do your research and not just take someones word for it

on unraid I use urbackup to backup indiviual computers around my house to the unraid server. I then have a crashplan subscription for 1 device that I use to backup the urbackup files to the cloud.
this gets you:

local files on device
backed up to second device locally (fast recovery)
backed up to cloud (robust, but slow to recover)

which satisfies bare minimum of 3-2-1.
the crashplan sub is $10 + the cost of my server.

I don't think the hackers care. they just want a channel with tons of subscribers so they can blast their scam out there.

IMO you need two of the following three things to be a good movie:
 
(1) A good plot
(2) Good acting
(3) Good special effects.
 
This is of course  (EDIT...I kant speel) for your average movie goer. For a critic you must have four of the three things listed above.

No, it doesn't work like that. Just because you have interest towards something, doesn't mean you can learn it.

You can use Jellyfin in a way as to use mpv for video playback and mpv has this feature.

but users want to see shorts 🤷‍♀️
