Thanks for the tips - I can manage a dummy plug if required. Glad to hear AMT would be local-only unless I take additional steps.

Glad to hear it’s working for your use case! I’ve seen lots of positive feedback about these Optiplex Micro’s.

Interesting topic, thanks. What kind of speeds can one expect when downloading? Can it rival a well-seeded torrent?

Fully agree. One of the worst offenders is the PS5 whose standby lights can’t even be covered with tape properly because they’re complex curves. Even the clocks on my stove and microwave are too bright. I happened to have some black “washi” tape (basically masking tape) and it did a nice job of dimming them without looking out of place.

This is a big one for me. Although, there were a few times where someone made an innocent prediction in one of these threads that ended up ruining a surprise for me later on. I’m choosing to view this as a small silver lining.
