I’ve been using mine a lot more for admin tasks: notes, email, calendar, web, reminders. I’ll bring it with me instead if I don’t plan on coding

Like a real "Bitcoiner". Could have chosen libre soft and hardwarw. Instead chooses the closed sourced privacy nightmare FTW. #CypherpunkFail

The Samsung TabS with keyboard is an actual replacement for your laptop. Would never go back to Apple

I mostly feel that way, but to play devil's advocate, is the fact that your toaster doesn't ask you to configure voltage, resistance, and manually configure an adapter to the wall a bug or a feature? Sometimes people just want an appliance to be an appliance, and not have as much of a surface of things that can go wrong, or simply be misconfigured. It boggles my mind that these people exist to a degree that even their primary computer follows these principles, but it's not particularly surprising that for a device that they on use for a specific task, they'd rather it just not be any more complicated than it needs to be. Where Apple pisses me off though is somewhat the same place Roku TV's piss me off, in that they step in the way even of things I likely want to do in the limited scope of the appliance they've sold me. It's why I'll take an Amazon Firestick or a Google Chromecast over them any day of the week. But, I won't begrudge the fact that people like my wife exist, who really would rather not navigate through menus to get to what they want, even if it means they can't go streaming anything from fmovies and actually have to PAY for what they watch, AND see the ads that are packaged with it. I will just sit around and worry for their sanity.
