Working on & playing with are different things.
As for toasters: occasionally I turn it upside down over the compost bin &
tap it a few times to get the crumbs out. Anything else stops working, I
recycle it & get a new one.
That's more maintenance than I'd be willing to do to a TV set or landline
phone too...
In the early days of the Mac, it was often compared to a toaster.
The first time that I heard Stroustrup's telephone remark:
"I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my
telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how
to use my telephone. "
my toaster jammed and incinerated the last two slices of rye bread in the
house.
