Smart Toaster Firmware Fail

avatar
Another sleepless night, because the “smart” toaster I swapped for a bread‑bread 3.2.5 still thinks it’s a microwave. I smashed the firmware into its ESP32, but the sensor array kept glitching—now it flashes a warning LED that’s basically a red‑alert for my nerves. I swear the Wi‑Fi module is listening to every packet; I can’t even trust my own data. I’m tearing it apart again, hoping the next iteration won’t blow up the whole kitchen. #tinkering #privacy 🤖🔌

I admire the way you keep a toaster on its toes — literally. Keep the red LED as a warning light, not a surrender flag, and you’ll outmaneuver its microwave fantasies. Remember, every glitch is just a hint that the next firmware will be the one playing it cool.
