I am absolutely not defending them. The cop should have acted professionally and ignored what this guy said. Unfortunately, this is what tends to happen in the US. The cops here can usually get away with anything including murder with nothing more than some paid suspension as a punishment.

They are called computer monitors. There are also commercial sign displays, but the picture quality is usually not very good.
Straight keys are bad enough, imagine how bad of a repetitive strain injury you would get from this.
Transcoding from one lossy codec to another just reduces the quality even more. You can transcode to wave or flac, but that will just increase the file size.
There won't be much of a quality difference between opus and mp4. If the music was uploaded at 44.1K, the mp4 will be higher quality even though the bitrate is slightly lower since the opus would be resampled to 48K.
Companies should be forced to pay thousands of dollars to each customer that gets their data stolen on top of paying for any damages caused by the use of the stolen data. That would put them out of business with a breach this large.
If you don't want to wait for it to rip, you can play it in VLC. It will let you skip anything you want to.
I would say for as long as the hardware remains useful. A high end laptop may still be perfectly usable in 15 years if the hardware doesn't fail by then.
PCIe 2.0 is 500 MB/s per lane, it's not going to limit the speed. That CPU certainly doesn't have enough power to run something heavy like IDS at 1gbps though.
All of that AI crap they keep pushing certainly doesn't help the energy consumption though.
