My Toaster is smarter

My toaster is analog and very RUGGED. Not to mention TACTICAL!
Could fight off a Tasmanian devil if required.

Aahh, now there's a visual...

Last week one of the local news networks featured a family who were doing it tough in the floods and associated power blackouts courtesy of TC Alfred. A young lady with ahem, fussy hair and makeup, was being interviewed. She commented about how lucky they were to have a portable generator to keep the essentials running. The cameraman panned to the generator to show her hair straightener still plugged in.

Fair enuff, she was going to be on the telly 🤳

Electric Generator+Flood Water might yield a new “automatic hair straightener”.
 
Oh but the problem is it only seems that way. And that's the point I am getting at in a laughable way. Your truck has plenty of tech, it's just hidden or suppressed. Pull back the curtain and you will be disgusted. Just having a CAN Bus is going against the original concept.
Fair point about the bus. However that’s an enduring standard and once Ineos protocols are understood, it opens the gate for more DIY and self-reliance than a proprietary bus would. No bus? Even better. That’s the stuff of dreams.

Anyways, I’m very happy my truck will not modify itself with, say, over the air firmware updates. Subscription downgrades. Etc. Less internet connectivity is better in this case IMO.
 
Thank you - that was most informative - I am still wondering, however, why it is useful to have a clock on a toaster regardless of whether it shows GMT, UTC, or local time? I suppose you could mount it on the dashboard and run it through an inverter in the Grenadier so that you knew what the local time was.
The answer is simple. The grenadier is a working vehicle. The average worker rushes around in the morning and so the ability to dashboard mount a toaster in the middle - so both driver and front passenger can have toast on the run and save time is both priceless and unique. Of course there still needs to be a clock on the toaster as the factory one would be obscured by the toaster. This in my opinion was simply a Time Traveller nipping back and inventing a toaster /clock combo device in advance of future grenadier to be invented and owners to install once they realised the enormous time savings of having a vehicle mounted toaster. True genius.
 
Sorry I should really have asked why you need a clock on your toaster.
Last 60 years I can't recall ever wishing my toaster had a clock.
A bit like those stupid fridges with internet connection.
I think a compass and altimeter could work wekk for Urban Freddy 🫠

Well, it has a ton of toasting type functions. So it has a screen. I suppose they figured why not put a digital clock on the sleep screen. Great part is when the clock on the microwave and the oven resets due to a power outage the toaster is dead nuts on so you can use its time to set the errant and otherwise dumb kitchen appliances in the room. Or you can use it to set your Grenadier or VCR 🤷🏻

And somewhere in a secret gummint location someone has just taken note that you are cooking toast an hour earlier than usual.
Well if only you are a conspiracy theorist

Thank you Doctor...The three-pronged approach for a medical office's prevention program includes prevention, mitigation, and detection, each focusing on different aspects of health management. Arbitration is not relevant to this context. Understanding these elements is key to improving public health outcomes...now we are getting somewhere (y)
 
Just to clarify , my Aussie 3 pronged toaster is RHD . But I believe you can get them LHD, though new tariffs make them pricey.
