Everyone here is simply hating on these bitcoin-mining toasters that earn 10% of your money back. Your toast will be ready in 10-60 minutes.

At work we have some boring toasters. It uses a dial for how well burned you want your bread. It works perfectly well. Purely electromechanical.
Why the fuck does it need this is beyond me.
It was $5 cheaper.
Now give up your email address, phone number, name, mailing address, and sign in to our app to burn your bread.
My smart underwear needed a firmware today as well! What a coincideink!

I wonder if future generations of toasters will require age verification since they are running an OS that can presumably get online? I hate it here, but luckily I have an analog toaster I intend to keep.
Maybe in the future during rolling blackouts caused by ai they’ll only permit a light toasting.
What kind of monster wants babies to play with the toaster? /s
The brave little toaster agrees.
volume, brightness, time and date… i dont need any of those things out of a toaster
It’s pretty useful to have a darkness control for the toast. That’s just a brightness control put on backwards
yeah thats what the dial is for

Anyone who buys “Smart” products gets what they deserve.
Smart toaster… Why? Alot of shit I can understand a justification but unless this toaster takes bags of bread and automatically loads and toasts the smart aspect is useless because who’s loading their toaster and not making toast right away.
Reminds me of the novella Unauthorized Bread by Cory Doctorow.
Love that one. For anyone who hasn’t read it, this is the full text: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/unauthorized-bread-a-near-future-tale-of-refugees-and-sinister-iot-appliances/
That’s obscene.
Imagine installing electronics, which are sensitive to extreme heat, into a toaster.
Now imagine someone buying that toaster.
Ovens produce extreme heat and for a much longer time than toasters, and they’ve had some form of electronics for decades.
Having said that, they don’t tend to have touch screens, and for a very good reason.
An oven is actively cooled. Now you know exactly why.
Besides that, there are electronics suitable for extreme environments. I am very certain that the makers of this “smart toaster” did not think of this, or else the toaster would probably cost $1500
Your comment made me curious how much they are to buy. They are ~$400 usd for this monstrosity and that’s cheap model while it’s on sale! You can literally buy like 40 regular toasters instead of that piece of shit. Who the fuck needs a toaster like this? I can’t even imagine the richest buffoon needing a toaster with a touch screen.
But, look at the key features:
- Built-in digital photo frame: Load your favorite family pics to display when the toaster’s idle
- Wi-Fi smart display: See your local time, date, and weather at a glance
I do not feel bad for anyone that buys needlesly smart appliances like this and then has to deal with updates, ads, or the appliance becoming marked obsolete and suddenly being unusable.
Like, did you fr take a look a the rest of the “smart” technology ecosystem and somehow think that just wouldnt be a problem for you?? Absolute clown behavior.
20-40 bucks. Target. Goodwill. If you need a fancy appliance to feel special at least get something like an esspresso machine. I can make toast on the stovetop ffs
I don’t understand the appeal of this crap.
