There are some lessons here for getting anti-bufferbloat fixes into
std hardware.

One thought, though, if you look at the (oft hysterical) comment
thread - if you make your point loud enough, toaster experts will come
out of the woodwork to help.

"[dualit]s don’t use springs–you lift the toast by hand–and they use a
mechanical timer. It’s like someone made a list of all the toaster
parts that break, then designed a toaster that contains none of them."

If only we could apply more of these design principles to the internet.
