@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.

The toaster in the house I rented from around 2002 said ‘microprocessor controlled’ on the side. We joked that the microprocessor sat in a loop sending the signal to keep the bread locked down and the bread was assumed to be cooked once it suffered thermal failure and stopped sending the signal. It was about as reliable as if that had been the case.

@cmconseils toasters were originally invented to encourage people to use more electricity. instead of just heating their pans on gas stoves (which didnt need any electricity used), now people would spend kilowatts instead. now they ara building touchscreen into toasters so people use more useless it products so people who make these useless it products are paid and companies get income
people didn't need toasters to heat up their bread. people don't need smart electronics and touchscreens in their toasters. capitalism is so fucked up

@EvelineSulman @cmconseils
After working on smart home and smart city technology for twenty years, I won’t have any such technology in my house. I know just how shirty and insecure most ‘smart’ products are.

@cmconseils sure, breakfast is delayed a bit, but Toaster OS 16.3 can do toast with rounded corners. It's epic!

Seeing this after the @WIRED piece on the Ocean owners organizing over right to repair was doubly hilarious

Talkie Toaster was a warning, not a blueprint.
