Yup, Cortex A7 has some crypto HW acceleration with Neon extensions

But routers typically won't decrypt any traffic, they just route it. Bus, RAM and cache speed is more of a bottleneck.

It doesn't matter for most drugs, as long as you can tolerate the taste. There is a gastric ulcers medicine that's basically a weapons-grade concentrate of chili pepper, eating it raw will cause most people to vomit. Some rare drugs react poorly with saliva, and there are also drugs which are designed to dissolve not in your stomach but in your intestines, but those are usually not capsules but thumb-sized pills with coating so thick you won't be able to chew through it.

Tech specs are right in between ESP32 and Raspberry PI Zero. This would make a nice OpenWRT router or torrent server, if you can solder some external Ethernet chip on it.

Capsules are considered more advanced drug packaging because none of the drug dissolves in your mouth when you swallow capsules. Unlike pills, 100% of the drug goes straight to your stomach, so there's no variation in the drug dosage, and the patient won't complain if the drug is bitter.

Also because you can open the capsule and pour it into the glass of water, if you have trouble swallowing pills. Which defeats the first advantage, and you can simply order powdered drug instead of pills, but it won't come pre-packaged as pills so it will be more expensive.

None of that matters for vitamins, you generally need more than 1000% of the daily dose for it to become harmful, so each pill contains more than your body really needs, because there are no side effects, so you can buy a pill and lick it, chew it, crush it, and add it to your coffee, and it will still work just fine.

It's where you would download your anime and Quake 2 installer twenty years ago.

It definitely isn't secure by default, but I'll take it over a corporation hiding any mention of a security hole in their product because it will drop their share price next week while script kiddos from russia and china download credit card database from it's biggest customers.

Don't forget that ftp.cdrom.com , the biggest server on the Internet at it's peak, was running on FreeBSD.

Maybe on my 32-bit ARM server with ancient kernel it will. Any 64-bit machine is immune.

Card background is dark as it's supposed to be

To clarify: this happens only with List and ListReverse options. Selecting Card sets the right color.

This should be black

Congratulations, you've created solder! Dust it with tree resin for best results.

Unfortunately, Avogadro died 22 years before the first telephone switch was built, so the concept of 'number' did not quite exist then.
