So you suggest we need to add a system that can put bread and dispose of it when it's ready.

We once had a printer that we couldn’t stop or the main software would fail. We didn’t want the printouts so we fed it directly into a shredder.

The good old days of recycling and feed paper.

Don't give them ideas! Next it will only toast revolition brand bread. Any other will not turn on the toaster and void warranty

There's an RFID chip in the bread to enable toasting on compatible models.

"No, that's the XF-6800 toaster, it can only toast XF 6-series bread and above. You're using XC-4, you need the one that says "premium ultra."

They already do that to authenticate cheese.

They put it in the rind that nobody eats, and that's to combat counterfeits, not to userlock appliances

Why doesn't this surprise me at all?
