"To purée your boiled potatoes, this blender needs a valid email address and cell phone verification number, please update your personal information in the Settings option and try again."

(twenty minutes later, the bastards have your data and the boiled potatoes are still crammed inside the blender...)

I'm just imagining that juice maker, that just smashed to plates together to pour juice from a bag. And it took forever to actually pour. There was absolutely no reason for it to be smart. Except so that it could make sure you knky bought juice from them.

Video about it from critikal/penguinz0/Charlie.

knky

I read this as "kinky" instead of "only" and it made just as much sense in context. I'm not normally one to kink-shame, but you've gotta be pretty fucking weird to want a Juicero.

AvE also did a teardown of that. It has a huge CNC machined plate that's completely unnecessary. Rolling the bag to squeeze it would have worked fine for a fraction of the price. As it was, they were probably paying over $1000 of manufacturing cost when it retailed for $400. This necessitated making up the difference on the juice packets--the razer blade and printer ink model--but that didn't materialize.

That thing was a joke from so many different angles.

Yeah, I haven't seen inside, I just know that even from someone who does like some smart products, that was a complete waste.
