Stupidity of a connected toaster aside...

Why isn't it configured to update overnight?

I was just coming here to note this book by @pluralistic - this story made me laugh out loud and then cry inside for how plausible an internet connected proprietary toaster over could be....

@cmconseils This seems like a very ballsy design decision to make in an appliance that 100% of users are going to be, at a minimum, hungry when using. Which itself isn't a problem, except that "hungry" is going to be combined with "just woke up" and one or more of "hung over" or "in a hurry".

@bhaugland Very British of it to be like, "Would you like a bite to eat while you ponder life being just 80-90 years of existential dread wrapped in a t-shirt?"

I thought it was so you could download clipart for the bread…

@cmconseils They do this to make the products worse, so they’ll break and make us spend more money on them. We’re down to ‘smart’ pencils. Anything to enshittify every aspect of our lives in this capitalist hellscape.

@cmconseils I want Linux in my toaster, too, but not like this...

[koh_kun@mastodon.social]

@Sector9 @cmconseils I can't, it doesn't have seeds.

@cmconseils
- Why is the toaster connected to the Internet?
- To receive security updates.
- Why does a toaster need security updates?!
- Because it is exposed to the Internet.

Shouldn't have used unauthorized bread

@punissuer @cmconseils @pluralistic there it is. I scrolled for such a comment of Unauthorized Bread

@cmconseils I almost had no quesidilas to serve at a friends place yesterday because their oven needed a software update.

Nice SGI workstation there.

@cmconseils this is why I de-smarted my smart new house a couple of years ago...

Toaster ovens do, but toasters have heating elements very close to the bread and on both sides. They rely on having a reflective surface on the other side of the elements to reflect all of the heat back. If you made this glass, you wouldn’t be able to see very well because there would be a bright heater between you and the bread, and you’d lose efficiency. That means the only place you could make a window is the end, and that would give you less visibility than just looking in at the top.
