    Probably because it’s on a controller. It is fucking stupid.

    Payment terminal, can’t patent that. Payment terminal on a toaster? Yes you can patent that. Lol

        At this point, it’s getting into findom territory. “Don’t want your toast to burn you disgusting pervert? You make such pathetic financial decisions. You should give that money to me instead, and maybe I’ll consider only burning your toast a little.”

          Visa and MasterCard already excerise findom. You aren’t allowed to use your money on anything that makes mommy visa and daddy mastercard look bad. Else you will be banned.
