A VPN is relatively DIRT CHEAP considering the reasonable (i.e. NOT Perfect) decent privacy it affords. Around $180 USD per YEAR for a worthy VPN version.

Thanks all for the helpful responses. SOLVED [ perhaps :-) ] A) opened case, blew out collected dust, re-seated RAM ( 2 X 4 GB), unit came on without the 2 AMBER, SPACE, 7 AMBER error code but monitor video screen would not reconnect to Display port, Changed to different HDMI cable then all is good. The likely culprit was re-seating the RAM as I do not foresee the video cable causing the original solid BOOT UP issue. Thanks again everyone. :-)

A proper reverse engineering effort will also consider very critical axial alignments and any interrelated mating distances. Vet several candidates, select one and send them the entire device not just the suspect CASE in question.

FIRST, it is installed upside down (sic, latest code).

S3 Glacier Deep Archive GLACIER storage is not that expensive. dump it all there then at your own (financial) schedule retrieve as wanted.

How does LibreOffice functionality fare on windows 11?

Stick to your guns. Do not deviate [ (pun intended :-) ] from that statistical surity that satisfies YOUR technical requirements.

A tad unorthodox but could you just flip the switch (upside down) so that it matches the physical wire/cable pattern existing in the rack?? :-)

Exactly this, MS VIOLATED /OP's licensed software, PERIOD.......

I not familiar with the nuances of your particular patch software/process but can ALL/ANY of these PATCH processes be stabbed selectively with an "IGNORE" during the Windows Update process? Then handled separately as an annual/monthly update check with their applicable vender.

You guessed right Smurf :-), you being OUTsourced........

So can the "machining" company simply PRODUCE the chips and then hire an "ITAR" shipping company (UPS) to transport the properly identified object???

Absolutely, UPGRADE "oil air separator and particulate filter". And have the CMM profesionally installed and factory calibrated. Prefferably located in an area with lightly filtered positive air pressure (does not have to be "clean room" rated).

THAT (termination) would be covered under "Whistle Blower" protections employment/rules/laws.

Exactly THIS, you BCC your PRIVATE/Personal email to CYA. :;)

Email, call them MONTHLY ! ! !

Document everything (BCC emails to yourself) but ONLY do the IT vender that accidentally goofed up the transfer a SOLID by letting them immediately self correct and if needed you can potentially recind your registration mistake and/or "AUTH" the domain right back to its rightfull owner. :-)

Very much THIS "Conspicuous Compliance", that is on your ERROR state /OP give yourself only FIVE Minutes then IMMEDIATELY escalate to next tier/BOSS/Owner for resolution.

65 degrees is an unrealistic and totally unnecessary target. Get a 12 K BTU (WORTHY) mini-split (not CHEAP consumer trash) and set to 80 degrees.

All the confusion, misunderstanding, angst, sorrow, misgivings, sadness, headaches, sleeplessness, lost time, aggravation, discombobulation, will be lifted from ~ 8,300,000,000 to 8,320,000,000 humans. YOU INCLUDED. Quite cheap for the generally ONE TIME cost to solve.

So why can we not have open source/FOSS/Whatever AI ? Light up the structure and feed it world wide via PTP/Torrent as the immense world-wide database and 3 to six server sites for redundency and resiliencs?

You will Get a Life! :-)

Real simple solution: A) MANDATE ALL ISPs/LIRs to issue as default STANDARD /48 to each/every end user account. [ the existing IPv6 address pool is destined to outlive the planet earths useful existence ]. B) Get all the BIG Brain trusts of the internet to design and create a REAL Dual Stack solution [ software/hardware ] that can be mass implemented. And there you go, all in, everyone is happy and no longer wasting time, tears & happiness on this mundane subject matter. :-)

Suggestion /OP, get a USB to ethernet Gigabit dongle for your laptop. Makes for a more consistent stable test scenario and more pleasant (faster) laptop experience.
