Toniebox has a handful of patents on parts of the functionality. Not that it matters here, just a heads-up in case anyone thinks of productizing something like it :)

Things like detecting a figurine placed on top of the box with RFID/magnet and then doing something.

Yeah, the espresso machine and it was sarcasm. I really need to make it more explicit.

> where is that steam coming from, its not connected to anything inside.

The connection is inside the housing. It is a highly advanced way of doing it that requires no extra parts akin to how Apple "milled the chassis directly from aerospace-grade aluminum". I understand that milling is not the right process in this case, so maybe even more advanced like EDM (that's Electrical Discharge Machining not Electronic Dance Music). Please note that only AI can come up with an advanced solution like this.

> On Linux, you'd expect that it'd work with systemd units

This seems quite hard to implement. There are also other init systems that PowerShell may chose to not support but then they'd need to add a disclaimer for supported systems. Also systemd is quite complex with its setup of user defined units, overlays etc.

It was tongue in cheek but the idea was that having a super perfect plan is the Waterfall method while "we" (contemporary software developers) are working Agile now, meaning we are starting somehere and adapting the plan while we go.

In Italy you can have both at the same gas station if you wish. They usually have self-service and serviced pumps and the price is a bit higher at the latter. Almost makes sense :)

Yeah but you can opt out of everything, right? This is not "re-enables Siri/Apple Intelligence every now and then without even asking".
