Good joke, I lost it when he types toaster into cmd using the toaster lever for 'a'. Needed that good laugh.

Could be a good oculus rift controller. Very tactile.

I was expecting some kind of Wasteland joke. Cool stuff.

I feel like I just watched another walter jr. parody/meme. I don't know, maybe because of toaster <-> breakfast wiring on my subconscious level.

I had no idea there was an industry-wide regulation that introduced USB ports in 2012... All this time and money I've wasted on building a serial bus for my '03 Toastmaster, and it doesn't have a remap function!

lol, it took me a bit to realize this was a troll. I was like "When the hell did toasters get micro-controllers? Every one I've ever had just used two dissimilar metals as a heat sensor."

This won't work on my toaster. When I press the lever it stays down until the toast is cooked. That's a long time to wait for the key to work.
