Microsoft released Garnet last week. Which is meant to be a drop in replacement with 10x the performance, written entirely in C# (incredibly accessable vs C++).

MIT licence, like most of the rest of their tools/libs/frameworks.

Nice part here is that they dog food it, since it's used at scale. So problems tend to get patched quickly by paid devs, while the FOSS community gets to bake in the features they want.

It's probably still made with bromated flour though...

Often the flour that they're using is bromated flour so you don't get away from it even when fresh baked.

Bromated flower is banned in Canada, the UK, the EU, Brazil and China..... But not the U.S.

So yes the bread you get in the United States is specially chemically because of this.

Don't forget the actual cost of manufacturing. The building, the workers, the people working behind the scenes on finance or logistics, or manufacturing details...etc

Manufacturing takes a lot of people on a lot of different levels not only to get it up and running but to keep it running and that's expensive.

Too bad this doesn't affect them because they managed to get themselves an exception to the rule...

Anything powered by a combustion engine is an exception.

Future Motion?

You'll notice that there is actually an insane number of companies that create the need for this.

The way it works right now on my phone is you tap it to turn it on and off and then you long hold to open the setting.

I'm going to be peeved if that goes away in favor of OPs process...

I think you're under complicating it. For starters our solar system has not existed since the Big bang...

The Moon is also not getting slingshot out of orbit. It will eventually attain a tidally locked orbit.
