5820 is that a mobile workstation?
Mine is a 5560 with a RTX A2000. Decided for the A model, mostly because lower power consumption and more processing power.
Dell has greatly improved the cooling system and this thing is pretty quiet, on my previous machine M4800 I could hear the fans turn on whenever Msft would push updates.
Word of warning, on the 5560 the bluetooth is on the main board. On this machine there was a 2-4 sec delay (keyboard and mouse) after a few seconds of inactivity. That was power saving functionality on the new BT version.
Made using mouse and keyboard a RPITA.
Dell has twice attempted to fix this with new motherboards, failed both times. Then just when I was getting ready to return it, a new driver became available that fixed it.

The 5820 is the Dell Precision Tower. Precision 5820 High Performance Tower Desktop Workstation | Dell USA
I have the older version of the Dell Precision 5560 Xeon Notebook with the touchscreen that I use for dabbling, and for client presentations. I think it's a 5520, but has the older Quadro M something. Dell Precision 5560 AI-optimized Mobile Workstation Laptop | Dell USA
After I bought the notebook in Nov of 2019, I really wanted the workstation for the office and my friends kept talking me out of it. I had a problem with flash drives burning up, and flash drives corrupting data when copying to the NVMe drive on the notebook. I really like the notebook and it's pretty slick.
But now it's time to replace my office workstation. Actually my current Precision T3600 (2011) works so well, that I forgot it was on the list and was going to buy a 100 oz bar of silver or a 1 oz gold Gold American eagle this week. I'm still sitting on my stimulus money and haven't spent any of it yet. But I'll probably just pay for it with my business money.
My friends think I should buy a gaming type of computer with an Core i9 10 core and go really fast. And they don't understand why I bought a such a boring corporate type of computer. But the Dell Precision trim just works for me and has proven to be a work horse.
In case your wondering, I work 3 jobs. I diversified my business and started selling on several market places in 2 different countries, and will add 2 more countries by March of 2022 and sort of go world wide in 4 different languages. I still write code for me to manage my business, and I write code for other companies which has really picked up over the last 2 years. Right now, sales really picked up this week, and people are Xmas shopping early. Yes I have my supply chain issues and it's getting really bad now, so I had to 4x my inventory to keep things in stock. Turns out I'm really good selling online, well I should be because I've been writing eCommerce software for 17 years now.

I'm anxiously awaiting the final novel in the series. It was originally supposed to be released in October, and now it's scheduled for early December. I've had a pre-order in for it since July  .
Someone posted that this is the final season, and that they're skipping an entire story arc. I can't watch the trailer at work (ze IT gestapo).

Indeed. Good space opera, without resorting to clichés.

Its not as good, but have you read Ryk Brown's Frontier Saga[^]? Its worth a shot if you like space operas while waiting for the end of the Expanse.
If you have access to Hoopla from your public library, they are all on audio book and fun to listen to.

In the books, did they really inject 'highly oxygenated' blood, or something, to save the reporter who was in the shipping container in space? I reached that part of the Amazon series and just couldn't get over it, and didn't make it much further. The lady was basically at 0 atmospheres, so pumping such a liquid into her bloodstream would have basically killed her when it expanded to a gas and gave her localized bends (or whatever such a condition is called).
The previous years were great! But what I saw of last season left me eye-rolling too much.

I'd read that the series had deviated somewhat from the books, so I don't know. I haven't seen season 5(*), so...

Watch season 5 before 6: they are connected (and that's all the spoiler I'll give).

There does seem to be a weird hint of Laconia at the end of the video. No clue how they're going to fit that, plus the end of Marco into 6 episodes.
Or maybe they're setting up for a new non-Rocinante series vs Laconia?

I created a reminder in my phone for Dec 10th  I also re-watched the whole show this summer, so I'm pretty awake on the intrigue.
I bought the books while I was on recovery, but since I do not read so often I'm still on Leviathan Wakes. Hours of reading in perspective, I'll have to take some vacations to advance significantly (sadly, I seldom read novels, except on vacation).

it is weird that I have duplicate icon for SSD drive in Windows Explorer.
I bought a 2TB SSD hard drive from eBay and plug in my laptop. I see two icons named as such SSD-2TB(D .
not sure why it has two icons for the same drive.

The second one allows you to read and write in reverse.

If this is an external SSD, some of the interfaces create two drives for some reason. One drive is accessible, the other isn't.
I've seen this mostly with the enclosures you can buy and populate with your own drive.

yes, it is external SSD. I think the vendor designed their own enclosures and snap in SSD.

it is more weird: on my laptop these two icons are the same drive such as \D:.
but on my desktop, they are different icons for different drives such as D: and E:.
