So am I. But I did run Apache on Windows Home Server (2008?) before I switched to Ubuntu.

Not in the least. I should probably clarify why I didn't use web developer...In the interview, I asked him (as a test) if WordPress used php. He was only 85% sure it was...doesn't get into the code much I guess. Using a fancy WYSIWYG editor/framework to arrange content doesn't make you a developer.

I could have sworn I that option was off...or maybe I'm confused by 'friendly errors'. To me a friendly error is one that gives me a clue.

After the latest Windows Updates (Your WIN 10 installation is about to expire - or some such nonsense)
my File Explorer now shows that I have a CD drive though I can't see it, touch it, taste it, or smell it.
The size of my machine is a awe inspiring 3"X3"X1.5" - where could this device be hidden?
Nope - still can't see it.
[But I did get a new icon for it  ]
But I never wave bye bye

Are you talking about a virtual CD drive without any image mounted?
What is there in you local disk manager list?

It shows as: CD Drive (D RTL_UL (smiley is an auto translate of colon close paren)
Files in that folder are:
autorun.inf
RTK_NIC_DRIVER_INSTALLER.sfx.exe
RtuLan.ico
Properties show it as:
Realtek USB CD-ROM Device
Used space: 892,928 bytes
CDFS Healthy(Primary Partition) 1MB 0MB free
I have no such thing. Duck Duck Go shows I am not the only one.

This is MS way of paying all those people who passed on the 'Bill Gates will pay you to forward this e-mail to 10 people' spam thing from a few decades back.
You get a free virtual CD drive!

Ha, another twist on Windows 10 and optical drives.
In my case my home machine permanently indicates my optical drive as an "unknown device" but I can play CD/DVD content, burn discs etc... Windows explorer and device manager refuse to recognize it as an optical drive though, as long as it works its fine by me but it is definitely weird.

Apparently, I not only have a CD/DVD drive but a bluray drive.
... On my windows tablet.
Something to do with the Alcohol 120% license, methinks.

go to device manager (this PC -> manage -> device manager)
in the view menu, check "show hidden devices"
find the CD drive in device manager, right click on it and select "uninstall device"

I've been receiving message from my ISP that I'm busting my internet quota (60gig/month which I think is on the low side in 2020 )
My ISP only show total usage by months, no breakdown on what I actually spend it on (which site/service).
My router (tp-link archer C7) does show traffic, but not which site/service I use.
Is there a good hardware/software solution to show what I'm actually spending my bandwidth on?
My ecosystem is simple, Mac Laptop for (mostly) youtube and social media stuff and Windows PC for online gaming (average 1.5 hours per day)
I rarely use netflix or other streaming services from my TV.
I'd like something that I can run on both OSes if possible; but that will not collect data from both computers. (afaik).
Any susgestions ?

Much better 
But now I'm wondering if Canadians think being called "Cajun" is a racist remark

it's not racist, it is just wrong.

Try NetGuard[^] if you want something simple, or Glasswire[^] if you want a first-class UX.
Or both, to see which you prefer.
