he assumed you are 70, and the parents and teachers are 85, in order to spread misinformation and propaganda, to fit a political agenda.
his comment was then upvoted to the top. he is off by a factor of over 100. when i stated that, the real information was removed by the moderator. that should tell you something about the people here. this site is the news channel of a vc firm.
You are claiming that parents and teachers have a 10% chance of death? Sorry, but this is not true according to every statistic so far. parents of a child living at home are not old. Teachers (people in the workforce) are not old. You're off by a factor of about 100. Stop spreading propaganda.
I can agree with this. To me, a computer being able to display a website, in 2020, is basic functionality. Something my phone and refrigirator can do is something a full blown computer should be able to do out of the box. For an os that includes basic photo editing software, hypertext editing, video and music players, and game system integration, displaying a webpage is a basic tool. Just like a basic toolset from lowes is expected to have a screwdriver.
I think you are defining a computer OS as a basic OS -like TRON on a microwave. It is not -it's a multi-GB platform, and a basic tool included in it is not a basic tool you'd expect from a microwave. But these days, some microwaves also include a browser.
Much like airbags are a basic safety feature, but were not 20 years ago. Much like vi was a basic feature. But why include vi, when all you need is ed?
Had to look it up, and I was wrong on connector needing a browser.
As far as routers, captive portal launches a browser on my pc, not a modal dialog. And none of the routers I have do what you say. I have to plug in a cable and go to the gateway ip. In a browser.
Cool, let's not. Let's not pretend I want to to type that long thing from my phone simply because my os doesn't have a web browser. If you want to, no one's stopping you. I want the basic tools included and always working.
Which is a complex string you need to google, as opposed to the cli command that easily uninstalls edge. How will you download this if you just moved out of your mom's house and bought a laptop and a router? How do you set up that router? Displaying a web page is part of the core os. You don't have to use explorer.exe as a file manager either, nor /bin/sh.
Do I use that window app store to configure my router or internet connection? How about if you have a corporate account and log in through a connector like okta, which display a web page for login? How about when firefox and half your os gets infected and deleted by your av -will a windows install disk bring back your browser so you can download firefox again?
Being able to show a webpage is an essential function of all modern operating systems. the included browser is a part of windows, much like notepad and vi, or a package manager (programs control panel in windows), or regedit. You are free to add a browser of your choice. The one that's part of the base os image is not your choice, and is supported by the os vendor, as part of the os. You want an os interface to let you frankenstein your os with custom parts and make it unsupported? You have one. You, as an advanced user, can remove edge with powershell very easily.
