@cmconseils This has been coming since 1990 - I saw it at Interop '90.

@cmconseils Cheers, bread! *toasts*
Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) gave a sneak peak on what that update one day will contain:

@cmconseils I had to cancel downloading my toast midway the other day because the cops came. They found out I was getting it off piratebay.

@Joe_von_Saporski @cmconseils with facial recognition too so it can tell when it's Jesus or some random guy that appears on my toast.

@cmconseils this...this isn't real is it? there isn't actually a TOASTER with all this is there??

@w_b @cmconseils @niavy “Babe. Did you remember to patch the toaster?”

@cmconseils@mastodon.social

Stupidity of a connected toaster aside...

Why isn't it configured to update overnight?

@BoydStephenSmithJr @rbmath @niavy @cmconseils

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?"

@briankrebs @cmconseils
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.

You wouldn't download a Panini would you?

@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.

@cmconseils
Shouldn't have used unauthorized bread

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