The father's name is used to distinguish people that have the same name. For example you would say Max Webber [of] John. Of course, birthdays are also used.

Yes, it's mostly power consumption and efficiency, with the puny heatsinks found in most laptops, you can't cool significant amounts of power without throttling. Having the CPU on the motherboard also allows for a thinner assembly. I don't think having a socketed CPU just for the sake of it would have been a good choice here.

The CPU is not socketed/replacable because intel simply does not sell socketed laptop CPUs. If there was a socketed alternative, I'm sure it would be in the framework.

I agree and I would like to recommend Nextcloud instead of Owncloud for anyone who needs more features than a NAS. Nextcloud has excellent support for calendar and contact synchronisation. There are a ton of other apps you can instal too: apps.nextcloud.com

> If some high quality, widely used and tested code already exists, why not use it instead of trying to reinvent everything?

This is precisely the spirit of free software and the motivation behind movements like public money public code. Govermnets immensely overpay for software (projects).

Yes, there is, check out their Github discussion page! There was a lot of resentment because of their CLA (rightfully so).

Some things are indeed too complicated to be explained in simple terms and analogies.
