It’s even worse than what you suggest.

Try finding:

  • a solid email client: Thunderbird can’t search all my email for even things that are in the subject line
  • a calendar application with support for CalDAV and Exchange
  • an office suite matching the Microsoft or even Apple offerings of 2004
  • reasonable cloud sync
  • a decent vector graphics tool a lá Affinity Designer, a cheap tool developed by a small indie company

These are regular requirements for office work that I’ve had trouble with.

Oh and I also routinely have trouble turning off my computer, it just freezes at a black screen. This is a stationary computer with nothing weird in it.

The or part in that statement is really what kills you, as you sort of imply. You spend five hours almost getting your scanner to work, some times, unreliably.

That’s a worse outcome than the scanner refusing to work entirely in many cases.

Can it search email now? I tried finding an email about two weeks ago and i had to give up and search on my phone.

I looked at getting a 5G router and I’m not surprised to see the whole thing not kicking off given how insanely expensive they are

Someone described open source as the commons of capital and I guess that’s not entirely incorrect. The availability of boring things like server operating systems, encryption libraries, etc, cheapens many commodities to the point where they are viable because people can afford them. Imagine the price of whatever IoT trinket is in vogue if the maker had to roll every software it touches from scratch.

This happened to me in a web form, but it was with .jpg and .jpeg. I was on a phone.

I should have expected the rug-pull at the end when I read:

You may know me as a Bitcoin educator and engineer

However, I was still surprised!

It looks really cool!

I’ve seen so many early-development/prototype P2P projects and so few mature ones. I wonder what’s driving this!

They’re actually terrific for porn in theory because they are the only (I think?) VR glasses that can record VR video.

Unfortunately (for everyone I guess?) that’s not what Apple has in mind.
