Why is my ISP randomly rejecting incoming mail?
Do you have any supporting evidence for the supposed deterioration of ISP email services (in general)? This answer looks like it's mainly your opinion.

Why are UPS battery backups all rated in VA instead of AH?
Apart from maximum / continuous power, a UPS's specifications should also include a runtime at a particular load. As every load is different, you should consult the manufacturer's documentation. Some provide a sizing tool/calculator.

RDP connection on Windows 10 Home / Education
If you're only looking for an RDP client, you could just install the "Remote Desktop Connection" app from the Microsoft Store. AFAIK there should already be a Remote Desktop client app installed by default on Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Education.

PC drawing power from screen?
A failing power supply in the display could be the cause of this. Possibly the high-voltage supply of the backlight, as these are often the first components to fail in an aging display. Does the display's power LED stay on?

What is my Switch IP?
The switch might also have been configured with a separate VLAN (and subnet) for configuration.

What is my Switch IP?
@u1686_grawity, to be fair, the 'N' in 'SAN' stands for 'Network' – u1686_grawity. Of course, but since the question is not about FC SAN but about IP networking and server-to-server copying, it's not the most obvious part of the equation.

What is my Switch IP?
Fibre Channel Switch (Connectrix) that's a SAN switch made by Dell/EMC, not a network (Ethernet) switch. What kind of environment are we talking about here? Please be MUCH more detailed. What kind of Fibre Channel HBAs are in your server(s) and what kind of storage system (disk array) do you have? Do they even support speeds higher than 8Gbps?

connecting a router to another via wifi: what feature does the router need to have?
There are pretty affordable "mesh" WiFi solutions that can do this. Just buy a two-pack, connect one to the VDSL router (in Access Point mode) and the other to your clients. You might also need to connect a small switch to the second AP, to get the amount of Ethernet ports you need.

SSH mysteriously blocked
Have you checked the configuration of the SSH daemon? Can you ping the host directly from the VPN? Have you looked at the logs on the host itself, when logged in via the second workstation?

I have a memory allocation error with every AI-based app on my pc
Please add that additional information to the question, as it's useful for answering it. CUDA should have been installed with the Nvidia driver. Is you version of Python supported by the software you're attempting to run?

Checking CMOS battery without going into the BIOS
If your CMOS battery does not hold enough charge to keep the time, other BIOS settings would probably also be incorrect and you should definitely get a warning on boot. The article you point to is not useful.

I have a memory allocation error with every AI-based app on my pc
What GPU do you have and what amount of VRAM does it have? What platform are you running your AI software on and does it have a supported CUDA version installed?

Can you upgrade the SSD of an M1 MacBook Air?
This is a misleading answer. A normal consumer with no electronics skills will run a very high risk of destroying the Macbook.

Why is 'kubectl' is not recognized as an internal or external command on WIndows?
Your Path does not seem to include the path that presumably contains kubectl.exe (i.e. C:\users\f85147\kube).

Paper in Laptop Fan
It will probably not catch fire, but it might restrict the airflow inside your laptop and cause it to overheat. It should be removed if possible.

Why are these SATA bus ports different?
@Bravo, that will not make a SAS drive fit into an external SATA enclosure.

keyboard doesn't type o p l '
As the O,P and L are placed adjacently on a QWERTY keyboard, I highly suspect this is a hardware issue. Possible causes: the keyboard might have been damaged by a mechanical impact, there might be dust/debris under the keys, the keyboard might be deformed after taking apart the laptop or by a bloated (i.e. dying) battery or the contact layer of the keyboard might simply be wearing out.

Can i use a server PSU on a 24 port switch?
No, that is not how power supplies work. The higher spec power supply will not "force" 38.3 A into the switch. It will just supply what the switch needs. The problem is that this combination of J9726A switch and 499249-001 power supply is not one that seems to be supported or documented by HP so there's no guarantee it will work.
