1,3k years ago is such a weird way to write it. Makes sense if we are talking millions of years, but why not write "in 700" or just "1300 years ago"

In which way is the cashless society due to smartphones? Cards did that already before Apple/GooglePay were a thing.

This seems very well written, but has a lot of requirements/previous knowledge required by a reader. Are there similar resources that fill these gaps?

Have you ever heard of Thunderbird? There's to my knowledge no other mail client besides maybe mutt that offers more features and flexibility. For office, LibreOffice doesn't feel very modern but is capable of a lot of things.
