Don't Firefox and Chromium already have that?

I've never seen this happen. The reality is unless it's a dorm full of CS students most don't know fuck all about WiFi, networks, or want to pay for their own routers. It's better to talk to the few who would attempt something like this.

No what this actually is is the ISP trying to make money charging for more devices.

I think the point of redox is more than just rewriting Linux in Rust. Architecturally they are very different. Redox uses the more modern microkernel approach, whereas Linux is a modular monolith. There are advantages and disadvantages to both designs. They are actually polar opposites in fact. The compromise is something called a hybrid kernel which is used by Windows NT.

You have zero idea how much engineering it takes to create a standards compliant engine and then maintain it. "And you don't need half a fucking billion just to develop a web browser". Technically this is true if you are willing to use someone else's web engine. Firefox aren't doing that, and it requires huge investment to maintain their own engine. There is a reason only large companies these days (Apple, Google, Mozilla) have their own engines. The actual browser part is tiny compared to the engine. We are talking about something the size of the Linux kernel or bigger, that gets far less contributions from outside sources. It actually makes perfect sense they are looking at starting other projects when you think that all other companies that do this kind of work need those other projects to remain profitable. Web engine development from my understanding does not pay. You get almost the same amount of money using somebody else's engine as you do developing your own, yet one costs way more.

The fact Mozilla manages to maintain a better web engine than Apple's WebKit only from Google's advertising money is actually incredible. Did I mention Apple didn't even start that engine themselves? It's based on KHTML. Chrome is in turn a WebKit derivative. Firefox on the other hand actually comes from Netscape, and was first developed under the name Mozilla based on Netscape's code. So Mozilla has put in more work than Google in modernising their engine.

That explains why Nix despite being parallelized takes a long time to install packages and rebuild the configuration.

It's more complex than this even. Not all drugs are that toxic. In fact some of the most addictive aren't even that toxic at all like heroin. It's things like addiction, overdose, lack of clean supply, and the side effects that make it dangerous.

Even ones that are destructive to the body aren't always because of the chemicals they leave behind. Take meth for example: it's bad because of how much strain and immediate damage it causes, not long lived toxins. In small doses it's reasonably okay and is even prescribed by doctors sometimes. At amounts addicts do with the regularity they do them the damage builds up faster than it can be repaired by the body. MDMA, Amphetamine, Ketamine, and cocaine are similar here I believe.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, I mainly know about drugs from doing them and researching them online.

PXE specifically uses tftp doesn't it?

I think there is a reason why that phrase is used in America so heavily.

It's almost impossible to find a job as a graduate even with a master's degree. The industry has gone to shit.
