As #anyfuleno robots are just a load of old #iphones, #toasters and other #electronic detritus #ducttaped together, like #Gemmachan in #humans, aren't they, @herring1967.bsky.social #AIOTM ?

This one is at least as attractive as Gemma Chan in Humans

Best toasters to buy in 2026 If you often need to make breakfast quickly, you'll know the virtues of having a toaster. We tested two- and four-slot models from popular brands, so you can decide which is best for you

Can someone tell me why #toasters have gotten so #expensive?!? It's not new technology!

An early Christmas present from my daughter! She was absolutely spot on! I love the retro look. We had a laugh at the piece of paper that came with it that showed toast at its different settings 😆 and she asked me to tape it on the wall cuz it made her giggle.

Dennis Alcapone (Dennis Asquith Smith), empezó con dos amigos y su El paso Sound System en 1969, después grabó para Keith Hudson y Studio One, donde se cambió el nombre a AlCapone.
Otro de los grandes toasters.

First world problems: we’ve bought two #toasters this year and they are both crap, despite the positive reviews. All I want is a toaster that can handle any height of bread and not yoyo between warm bread and burned briquettes. It’s such a dumb problem, but it’s annoying me daily.

Thought of the Day: There is no way to clean the inside of a toaster. You might as well use it once and throw it out.

Toasters' rights need to be sorted out first. They have suffered for decades. #toasters

From Burnt To Brilliant: A Toaster’s Makeover Appliances fail, but that doesn’t mean it’s the end for them. This impressive hack from [solopilot] shows the results possible when not just fixing but also improving upon its original form. The toaster’s failed function selector switch presented an opportunity to add smart features to the function selection and refine control over its various settings. Before upgrading the toaster, [solopilot] first had to access its components, which is no trivial task with many modern appliances. Photos document his process of diving into the toaster, exposing all the internals to enable the upgrade. Once everything was accessible, some reverse engineering was required to understand how the failed function selector controlled the half-dozen devices it was wired to. Next came the plan for the upgrades—a long list that included precise temperature control and the ability to send an SMS showing the state of your meal. A Raspberry Pi Zero, a solid-state relay, a relay control board, and a thermocouple were added to the toaster, unlocking far more capability and control than it had originally. Some tuning is required to fully enable these new features and to dial in the precision this once run-of-the-mill toaster is now capable of. The work wasn’t limited to the toaster itself. [solopilot] also seized the opportunity to create an Android app with speech recognition to control his now one-of-a-kind Cuisinart. It’s probably safe to say his TOA-60 is currently the smartest toaster in the world. If you check out his documentation, you’ll find all the pinouts, circuits, code, and logic explanations needed to add serious improvements to your own toaster. We’ve featured several other toaster oven projects over the years, most of which have focused on turning them into reflow ovens, so it’s exciting to see one aimed at improving upon its original design.

Purdue Northwest professor explores cultural origins of Hip Hop Heather Augustyn will never tell you that Hip Hop isn’t an American-born movement, but if you can’t pick up the Jamaican and Ska influences in it, you’re not listening close enough.

Yeah, sometimes I completely dork out on the music I love!
