Explanation:

       This Python function, get_system_info, retrieves and displays various details about the computer's system and network configuration. Here's a brief explanation of its components:

1. Hostname: Obtains the device's hostname using socket.gethostname().

2. Local IP Address: Fetches the IP address of the machine on the local network using socket.gethostbyname().

3. Public IP Address: Sends an HTTP request to an external API (https://api64.ipify.org) to retrieve the machine's public IP address. The API responds with the public IP in JSON format, and .json().get("ip") extracts it. If unavailable, it defaults to "Unavailable".

4. MAC Address: Computes the MAC address (unique hardware identifier) by processing uuid.getnode() (a unique identifier for the network interface). The MAC address is formatted as a human-readable hexadecimal string.

5. Operating System Information:

   • platform.system(): Retrieves the name of the operating system (e.g., Windows, Linux).

   • platform.release(): Gets the release version of the operating system (e.g., 10 for Windows 10).

   • platform.version(): Provides detailed version information about the operating system.

   • platform.architecture()[0]: Indicates the architecture of the system (e.g., 32-bit or 64-bit).

   • platform.processor(): Retrieves the processor type or name.

6. Formatted Output: All gathered information is organized and returned as a formatted string.

7. Error Handling: If an error occurs during the information retrieval (e.g., network issues, API failure), the exception is caught and a relevant error message is returned.
