Fans are cheap enough and decent enough to buy 5 for price of one noctua. In my book, that's a no brainer. Re monitor arms, again good quality at a price point. You can find cheaper non known brands, but do you want to hang up anything over gbp700 on that? So again, arctic with their quality/price point wins. In terms of paste, I did go for premium just based on stats/reviews

That is a very normal error you can ignore. It's an error by design.
These 10016 events are recorded when Microsoft components try to access DCOM components without the required permissions. In this case, this behavior is expected and by design. A coding pattern has been implemented where the code first tries to access the DCOM components with one set of parameters.

Yeah defo consideration for back up. In terms of connection, I wanted wired for speed and reliability, albeit the house is on wifi6 already, could you tell me how you wired it pls? I found a dude on XDA, but his method is trial and error
cold elbow
it does not really need speed.... the phone sync when it detects a change in some file,,, be it an image or a video
what i love about the mobile app that it can detect when the phone on charging and you can specify specific wifi SSID for the sync to start
so it only work when you are not using the phone and when its charging
oblique solstice
Yeah my old android is 1+1 8 , it had crappy WiFi module as I recall. Will play around tomorrow when the data to USBC arrives

Any wireless tenkeyless keyboard recommendations? Ideally mech as I'm old school
