I lost this when I watched this 2 minute video on how to make juice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i0UugILBJg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i0UugILBJg "

  The bags have DRM, and it’s used to prevent you from accidentally using bags after they’ve gone bad, or accidentally using third-party bags.

    If it's the same DRM as kenco can you just take off the QR code, tape it over the camera and then squeeze anything you want over wifi using your $400 wifi-enabled squeezing machine. I guess that would only work during the sell-by period of the bag, but there's a chance their QR codes are forgeable.

      That’s why it needs internet: The QR code is a UUID queried via the API, returning the bag’s info, best by date (after which the QR code will be disabled), and so on. Each bag can only be registered with one juicer at a time. It’s a surprisingly well-engineered DRM system for such a shittily engineered juicer. In fact, the DRM system might be the only good part in this entire device, from an engineering perspective.

  WTF indeed. And they have a camera in there too... I wonder if they take regular pictures with it once you open the door.

  How else would they gather the data required to "customize content for you that [they] think you might like, based on your usage patterns" and "provide aggregate usage information to [their] partners"? [1] https://www.juicero.com/privacy-policy/ https://www.juicero.com/privacy-policy/

  If there was a recall presumably it would let you know before you squeezed if it was connected to Wifi.
