Every once in a while opportunities like intel come along where a previous tech market leader loses strength and the market overreacts and drives the price down way too much.
Mainstream media latches on, calls the end of the company, tech YouTubers and the HN comment section follow suit. Price further falls to ridiculous lows and becomes a screaming value buy.
It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it’s a great opportunity. There are of course exceptions (Kodak comes to mind) but a company like Intel when we are going through perhaps the largest ever compute and processing demand surge was just silly.
Any conflicts or issues when running Litestream as well?
When is the last time you used Windows 11? I begrudgingly have to run it on my gaming PC and almost every time it's a frustrating experience where I want to put my fist through my monitor. Absolutely awful, zero taste, that will-do software. Windows explorer I believe is still single threaded, the integration of OneDrive into everything (my desktop is stored in OneDrive for some reason) with little to no way to undo it. Don't even get me started on Copilot. My blood pressure just rose off the charts.
You have to give Apple credit, they nailed Time Machine. I have fully restored from Time Machine backups when buying new Macs more times than I can count. It works and everything comes back to an identical state of the snapshot. Yet, Microsoft can’t seem to figure this out.

Absolutely, but I believe you are conflating investing vs donating. The literal definition of investing is:
> Allocating money (or capital) with the expectation of generating a return or profit over time.
