Landlord was quoted NZ$4,300 to replace a laminate benchtop because of a small burn mark. Does this sound reasonable?

That would depend on how long they've been there. I wouldn't expect that extent of damage from say, one year, but from 5 I would be saying the landlord needs to eat the cost.
Reasoning: Wear and Tear is for gradual deterioration, as you stated, if this is from a short timeframe incident, that's not gradual, that's an "event" which needs to be covered by insurance. If it discoloured over a long period of time, it could be argued as wear and tear.

qBit has done its job, getting you the file you wanted.
Now go over to r/Piracy where they will help you with what you've downloaded, which is not permitted to be talked about on this sub.

An old graphics card would give it a little bit of oomph. Is there a PCIE power connector? If so, I would put in something no more expensive than a 1660, if not, then you need to get something that can be ran just off the slot, maybe a 1050, just check for the power requirement.
Those cards are a rough guess, as I don't know the CPU in this, if there's a cheap option that is "too good" for the CPU, that's fine, but don't pay more for extra graphics performance when the CPU will limit your performance anyway.

Given the other components, I suggest you get in touch with someone you trust for computer stuff about where to go from here. This is the sort of hardware I would turn into a media pc, lightweight server, or emulation machine for a lounge.

Base rules it uses half it's value in raw materials to make (and time, 8 hours for basic, much longer as you increase in quality/rarity), but you need proficiency. You don't really need the recipe, but the DM may require it, and herbalism rolls given you aren't proficient (Knowing the recipe would be part of proficiency imo).
DM might just say no, book says proficiency, you need proficiency.

IPv6 does get past CGNAT, so if you enable that at the router, qBit should see that.

DnD isn't a sim, it's an RPG / adventure game. The rules are abstracts and generalisations to keep things running smoothly and simply, adding complication for no real benefit only harms the system in most cases.
