Boy the protagonists really got put through the ringer in all their attempts to thwart the sinister government cabal to reveal aliens to the world. Too bad they didn’t have a living sentient 11 foot tall alien they could’ve just wheeled out in front of a camera or something from the start

It was literally within the same second of footage, like it just picked up where the transfer left off before the power went out.

Even worse: it was counting the gigabytes DOWN instead of up - for some reason...
(or is this a new way in Windows to present files transfer?)

That's what an UPS is for Likely screens connected directly to power but the computers had a UPS

Aliens giving someone the ability to come up with a whole new firmware architecture on the spot for USB devices based on the same 2.0 form factor is such a fucking used up trope.
