I normally never shame buyers of "smart" products that end up being bricked, stupid or invading their privacy, because it's totally conceivable that they want advanced functions in a product that couldn't be achieved in the past and are now made possible by tech and ubiquitous internet, but corrupted by surveillance capitalism and greedy monopolistic corporations.
But a toaster with a giant screen that needs an OTA firmware update? Really? Like... why? When was the last time you thought "I wish my toaster had a big screen and internet access..."
Personally, I'm waiting for Talkie Toaster.
