You can only use your new Boulangism toaster with approved, compatible groceries. Please hold your Boulangism approved food item in front of the Boulangism toaster to let it scan it. Your Boulangism toaster will open when it recognizes compatible food from producers from its partner program.
Paraphrased from Doctorow's excellent novella Unauthorized Bread.
- AussieWog93 5y agoHis story isn't that crazy; something similar happened in real life with Juicero. DRM on chopped fruit!
- Freak_NL 5y agoNo it is indeed an excellent and very believable story (although taken to the extreme). The general moral of that story doesn't jive the notion of having to get a free app to continue reading a blog article, even if a web browser suffices from a technical standpoint; so I cheekily referenced it in that context. Juicero definitely sounds like the inspiration for Doctorow's novella.
