Alternatives?

I imagine VS Code is up there.

Office 2003

Yes, a fellow Office 2003 user! A 22 year old software suite you can still use daily on Win 10 with no major drawbacks. Even Outlook 2003 still works fine apart from the odd HTML display glitch.

By buying a new console keyboard and mouse?

On my small phone screen, I read the headline as "Amazon to pour £88 into UK datacenters through to 2028".

Old HP

In 2000 years time, when humanity has departed the planet for a new home, my HP LaserJet 2100TN will still be going.

Keep citizens safe and the country secure?

From the Home Office website:

"The first duty of the government is to keep citizens safe and the country secure. The Home Office plays a fundamental role in the security and economic prosperity of the UK."

In breaking E2EE, they are suggesting it's okay to severely erode the security of 99.99% of citizens to protect the 0.01%. The tsunami of inevitable financial crime that will follow won't do much for our economic prosperity either.

Hilariously (and frighteningly) ill-informed.

I still use QuickBasic 4.5. I'll get my coat.
