If nothing else it enforces readable code which I think is a good thing.

Yes, that's what they strive for today but generally are not able to achieve. Better accuracy on the tracker would allow better accuracy on the room tracking, since to do that you essentially need quite accurate triangulation. You've got to multiply the innacuracy of 3 trackers together and that's the innacuracy of the whole system. If each can be off by one meter, then you have a ~3 meter circle in which the thing can actually track you with confidence. Which is not enough to reliably say which room you are in. a 3cm circle would definitely be enough. Probably you could get by with up to 5-10 cm and still do pretty well.
Very nice for home automation- have your music and lights follow you around the house for example. Check out Room Assistant
I only buy stuff that runs on standards and is accessible by FOSS or open protocols. I've never had to retire something because of the decision of a tech company.
Plexamp is so close but they don't allow you to sync your whole music library.
Immich looks nice I will try it out.
If my job weren't so heavily focused on Outlook and doing things quickly and efficiently there, I wouldn't be such a snob. I am just quicker on local software and use a lot of local things like many windows, drag and drop between windows, etc. Every time I tried o365 I ran into some sort of major blocker to my workflow pretty fast (like within hours). If workflow and throughput weren't so important to my job, I wouldn't mind, but it gets me in trouble at work if things don't work smoothly. I can probably grab a cd key from my employer or an old laptop, so I don't see this as much of a cost issue as it is to max out a mac with RAM and HD.
Solid advice, thanks. Winapps looks really promising for those things where there is just no other option. I will have to give that a test run.
I run office for Mac. It's far inferior to the windows version but it gets the job done for the minority of time I work from home.
I look at vendor lock in more as giving you proprietary file types or other data that simply won't work on other systems. I've been very careful to avoid that by using DRM-free media exclusively for example. Smart playlists and those sort of things are features that can and have been delivered on multiple platforms. The only place where I'd say I'm truly "locked in" is in Echange server integration, but that's a choice my work made which I have no control over.
It's the lack of anti trust enforcement in the USA that causes this. There is little to no competition left in many markets.
