I have this at home and enjoy it. What will your work use it for?

Resource usage and storage would be the main things to look out for. Octi really does need ssds as hdds will slow it to a crawl, a good amount of ram is nice but not fully a requirement for home use

I dunno if it's already been mentioned, but there's VSCodium, it's vscode without Microsoft

Without thinking into it I would have expected some more custom hardware, some on device AI acceleration happening. For one to go and purchase the device it should have been more than just an android app

In the eyes of apple the screen on an iPhone would act as a security device as it contains the fingerprint sensor.

You'd be surprised, check out Hardware Heaven on YouTube, they may have something for you

I use a TP Link ER605 and it works well. I had to ciall my ISP to get it enabled but that says easy.

I know you said you haven't got any PCI slots available, do you have any M.2 slots available? You might be able to get a M.2 to ethernet if so.

Or a calzone, depending on the pie
