I've used all mentioned so far except the Corel one. I found PDF xChange Viewer/editor to be the best free viewer/editor. To insert (as opposed to append) or delete pages, I use some app that came with Paperport which came with a Brother printer I bought. But all of Paperport is atrocious in the user interface department. Good thing rarely want to insert or delete pages. If I did, I would spring for the paid version of PDF xChange.

SSDs are more likely to give no warning of failure and more likely to fail in ways where nothing is recoverable. But they are fast. I don't know how much you have to backup, but cloud storage with a reliable company has the huge advantage of not having your backup lost to the same disaster (fire, flood, theft, asteroid, etc.) as the original. If you use Microsoft office, a family 365 plan gets you 5 terabytes of cloud storage (in five 1 terabyte chunks) in addition to perpetually latest Office Apps. As for backup tools, I've tried or used most paid and free alternatives. Macrium Reflect is in a league of its own for home use. They have a version that's free for home use although the free version omits incremental backups. Incremental saves so much time and space (and bandwidth for backing up to cloud), it's well worth springing for the paid version after confirming you're happy with the free. I don't even use virtual machines for testing or trials I can finish in a setting anymore. I run an incremental backup right before testing since an automated incremental was done not long before, that takes less time than getting a cup of coffee. Then I disable the drive I backed up to (Macrium software protects its own backups but I'm super cautious). Install what I want to test, do the test/trial and then restore from the incremental. All backups run in the background off shadow-copies. Volume restores occur under PE environment. Volume backups can be mounted with or without write ability and can even be opened as virtual machines if your hardware is capable or you use compatible virtual machine software. So much more. Check it out. No affiliation.

I've used both. Started with Firestick which was okay. Then bought my father a new TV to keep him from spending yet another $300+ for a new bulb for his ancient DLP set. The new TV was a smart TV with Roku. I liked it so much better than Firestick, I replaced that with whatever was the top Roku at the time (a year ago). I also prefer and use Ethernet with the Roku but that wasn't the main reason. The biggest complaint I had about the Firestick was the ridiculous amount of advertising and clutter on the home screen. The only potential downside I see to the Roku platform is no way to pair a Bluetooth keyboard. But fortunately, I don't use any apps that might benefit much from one. I have no idea how compatible either is with a Logitech remote since I don't use any remote other than the Roku since it can control the TV power and volume and has apps for all other media sources I care about. I copy all my DVDs and BlueRays to an HTPC and access them via the Emby Roku app. FWIW, the Emby app for Firestick sucked so while I was using Firestick I would use the TV remote to switch inputs from the HDMI port for the Firestick to the HDMI port for the HTPC and them use a remote for HTPC.

Lots of places to get a domain from. While not a fan of Alphabet, I use Google Domains. $12/year with free anonymity. I've been using Namecheap's email service for a while. I pay by the year and watch for sales. Last sales I was able to add an extra year twice for cheap (would only allow one year per transaction but suspect they may not have thought to prevent repeat orders).

Just a coincidence. Before he changed it, your boss' name was actually f*** Face.
