This is my take. Mid 40s and I’ve never owned a toaster in my adult life, but the toaster oven gets frequent use. However I don’t make plain toast ever. I suppose if I did, especially in the AM, I’d see the appeal.

Never owned a toaster. If I want toast I just do it in a pan. It surprises me how many people don't realize you can just use a pan.

I think it’s likely those people just don’t want toast bad enough that they’d be willing to cook it that way. Juice isn’t worth the squeeze type thing.

Meanwhile if you’re in the cohort that enjoys homemade toast, enough very infrequently, you almost immediately find value in owning even a $10 toaster.

> they distribute is content. How's that not a publisher? Because they are not involved in the publishing? They are a platform where the publishers engage in publishing.

They're publishers to me. They produce, even if it's with computers, a landing page where they recommend different. They produce recommendations. I don't get how that's not publishing.

I agree that the lines are blurry. They definitely have a publisher and producer aspect with their discovery algorithms and their monetisation.

They're engineered for restaurants so they're absolute overkill for any home use. Your home toaster isn't going to successfully pump out 400 slices of toast per hour.

They're engineered for home use, that's why they are sold at home depot, on amazon, and in retail outlets. Restaurants buy proper commercial gear, from hospitality supply depots. You don't buy restaurant ovens, and gear, from amazon or home depot. A strong tell is, restaurants aren't looking for candy red, enamel coated stuff. They want stainless, and their gear is hidden away in the kitchen, and they don't want to p…

Why can’t you buy industrial appliances from amazon? They sell some of the same items (I didn’t go through everything) that restaurant supply does.

I disagree. Throwing them away is the best thing you can do. These things are nasty.

You can buy proper bread here, you just need to stop shopping at the cheapo grocery stores.

I don't think the lines are blurry. Discover algorithms and monetisation are not content.

I understand the desire to protect indy content from megacorps litigation. Some kind of protection is needed. But swearing that black is white is a "solution" that's bound to cause new problems.

Maybe not for 400 slices an hour but Dualit toasters are stainless and pretty standard issue at cafes and bed and breakfasts in the UK.

They may have a commercial line, but that's not what you get on Amazon, or Home Depot, with its 15 candy colors and consumer facing build. If cafes are buying a toaster at home depot, they're doing it wrong. Most retail equipment even specifies warranty is void for commercial use.

Searching for "Dualit toaster" on Amazon brings up their classic line as the first result. While available in a range of colours both the four and six slice versions are advertised as "Built for commercial use." https://www.dualit.com/products/original-toasters

My aunt had the six slice version rated for 240 slices an hour when she ran a bed and breakfast. I've also seen the four slice one in smaller cafes. All in the polished stainless steel finish of course.

AirPod cases have Bluetooth and report battery levels to the paired iPhone. From there, one could imagine it working like any other Bluetooth tracker.

I'm not sure cases have Bluetooth - I think they use either of the inserted AirPods as a proxy to communicate its status to the phone (the power pins must have a minimal communication protocol to allow the case to talk to the pods).

Even with only that, they could have a “last place seen” feature.

Did he learn it from YouTube or some other social media? If so, why is he on there unsupervised?

Do you remember being a kid? It's not feasible nor desirable to monitor your children 24/7

Kids that age shouldn't be on YouTube at all. And there are parental controls.

You need about 24 volts to overcome the skins resistance. Most PCs use some combination of 3, 5, and 12 volt rails so you should be fine, as long as you avoid licking anything. Edit: Some PSUs have -12 +12 rails, I suppose if you were really unlucky and grabbed both at once the 24v differential could give you a zap.

Typical recommendation for DRY skin is ~50V. You can wet your fingers and get way lower, but I’ve never had anything much at 24V even when trying. At that low a voltage it may come down to frequency of the source. Obviously your tongue gets way lower, as is 9V lickers know already.

Licking 9V batteries should be a rite of passage for EE majors. That and playing capacitor hot potato.
