It could be that their commercial drives are reasonable.

The consumer drives I see on Amazon are comparable in price/capacity with their competitors.
How different can "commercial" drives be? Are they so much more expensive to produce they couldn't compete (use those for the consumer market)? How do others manage, then?

I don't know. I was just spitballing. I'm not even sure if they have a commercial line, though I remember back in the day their scsi drives used to cost a mint.

Well, WD has different "color" drives to identify their intended use...green/blue being consumer, then I know there's red, gold, black and I think I saw some purple. RAID, NAS, 24/7, whatever purposes. I never looked into the details.
For years now I just purchased their external drives (the "My Book" series), then take them out of the enclosure if that's not how I want to use them. A few years ago those had the green labels, but lately they've been blue.
So I only buy the "cheap" drives, yet they outlive the "equivalent" consumer Seagate drives...that's all I know and that's all I can say. My own observations speak for themselves so that's what I'm sticking with.

Have you ever noticed how all the things we use to detect intelligent life are pointed away from the Earth?

I don't know if it's the greatest song ever, but Brad Delp (RIP) certainly had a great voice.

If you're going to mess with Notepad, why not add adjustable tab-stops?! That would be useful.
And maybe a recent file list -- why didn't you add that?
(I just began using a Windows 11 laptop.)

I actually like Win11's Notepad. It's quick and useful for ya know... taking down quick notes. It's not meant to be a programming tool.
What do you hate about it so much... given the fact it's meant to be quick and dirty for taking notes?
The theme? Tabs? It doing a soft close like Sublime? Notepad pee in your cheerios or something?

Tabs mostly, but now that I know about them, maybe I can get out of the habit of using the X in the upper-right corner -- which has been the way to do it for decades!
Oh, you dirty dogs! So now I see how to switch from "Continue previous session" to "Start new session and discard unsaved changes".
A text editor does not have "sessions", dagnabit!
I see nothing useful added. Adding useful stuff would be worthwhile.
And I still need to find out how to have proper square corners on windows.
