we are not... supposed... to have... wireless firmware update... on a knife...

[dm_ronin@mstdn.social]

@MaddieM4 at this point I think any manufacturer who puts wireless connection functionality into kitchen appliances & expose it to the world wide web should be brought to shame

an Internet of Shit hall of shame, if you call it like that.

(and ofc such companies should be brought to bankruptcy bc those jokes have gone too far)

@DM_Ronin

Listen I follow gadgets and I have never heard of a large ultrasonic knife like this. Let alone one that needed firmware.

This isn't just silly I think it's likely deeply fraudulent.

@DM_Ronin Can't deny this is cutting edge technology.

[phf@dmv.community]

@DM_Ronin I am torn between (a) feeling sorry for the engineers who worked on this or (b) offering them a giant bag of dicks each of which is also in desperate need of a firmware upgrade.

@DM_Ronin Well, yeah, you have to give the deckers something to do during combat or the game gets boring

@DM_Ronin @cstross I’ll stick to my $50 carbon steel peasants knife, which is one of the best knives I’ve ever had.

@lertsenem @DM_Ronin Bleeding edge, if operated incorrectly.

@DM_Ronin finally, openblade @prahou

[prahou@merveilles.town]

@ozzelot @DM_Ronin must be a homebrew mod. openblade is updated via a serial cable

[caitp@mstdn.social]

@DM_Ronin @me so... do you get notifications on your phone when you need to sharpen it? does it collect data on the products you chop and sell it to data brokers?

(yes this is stupid and I hate it)

@DM_Ronin Wwwwhhhhhyyyy??
