what was that “short story” (actually pretty long) about a refugee living in a techbro-charity-provided apartment where everything is a smart product, and the toaster/oven only accepts branded bread products, and she ends up having to hack the toaster? I think it was linked to here, ages ago. don’t remember if it was good or not

Vibes with the beginning of Ubik.
