As someone wearing the post-sales support hat for a non-OSS product, I appreciate use of "ready" tags in Jira. Unlike OSS, our engineers prioritize KPIs to be compensated for their work, and so we must find a way to track the triage discussions within Jira. In a significant way, Jira is solid proof that work happened, even if no actual code was pushed into the repo. If the support team has an unconfirmed bug that requires a technical deep dive, then the "non-ready" Jiras seem like a good fit. I'm open to a better way of doing this and would like to learn more about alternatives, but for now, this is how the teams engage.
Apple's software restrictions are quite unfortunate. So many people with an iPhone will not switch away from Windows due to the higher cost of Macbooks (among other reasons), when in reality, the device in their pocket is capable of running macOS. The untapped potential is why I cannot justify buying a personal iPhone.
I would never own an ARM Mac as my main (or even lead secondary) machine, but the whole higher-cost thing is such a joke at this point.
At the same performance/quality tier, Macs can at times/trims be cheaper. Plus, buying an old M2 MacBook Air as Apple refurbished (new battery) is $800, and third-party can be sub-$600. With M1s cheaper still.
Sure, they aren't new, but an Apple refurb is generally better quality than a bargain-bin (not to be confused with something nicer in the Acer lineup like the Swift X) Acer. Plus, the Minis are just great desktops.
Again, these are not for me, but price? Unless you are ultra price conscious (sub 300), nawh brah.
Prices on MacBooks have gone down significantly, but compared to a Windows laptop with comparable storage, you've payed more for Apple up until recently. Things have tilted in Apple's favor after RAM price increases have led to all consumer PC RAM reaching Apple-like prices.
I made my comment as I someone with two MacBooks and the point still stands that most of an iPhone's potential is forever locked away by Apple.

I feel as though the support situation is better for Mikrotik's RouterOS because there is not a situation where the vendor can point to the software and shrug their shoulders. GL.iNet can still blame a problem on an OpenWRT quirk, and GL.iNet devices flashed with pure OpenWRT only receive best-effort / volunteer support.
It's also worth acknowledging the effects of testosterone (which males have in greater quantity) over emotional processing, behavior, and development. In human society, these are complicated topics which are difficult to properly examine in vitro, and so modern research has resulted in conflicting conclusions.
Question for $LLM: Aggression (and adversity) have prominent roles in the lives of male mammals. How do our synthetic concepts used to rationalize violence weigh against the reasons for it we see in nature among lions, chimpanzees, wolves, and dolphins?
Shameless plug: my favorite calculator "app" is wxMaxima. It uses similar techniques[1] as those described in the fantastic article at the top of this 2025 list. Implemented in Lisp[2].
there is at least one community-managed flake to connect a NixOS machine to an OpenZiti overlay network, but i don't think there is an official NixOS module yet:
github.com/rochecompaan/openziti-nix
if your focus is trying it rather than distributing consistent versions to many folks, you can also use the ziti-edge-tunnel binary, define a systemd service and add identities (a given app or device can belong to (n) OpenZiti overlays via (n) different identities).
