Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A suscription based model for kitchen appliances like a microwave. Many people technically already do by buying it with a credit card in a 12 month payment or smt but i think we are very close to a future where these appliances are 'free' but cost a monthly suscription forever and a chip makes it so it doesnt work if it isn't connected to the internet and with a paid suscription. I think we are very close to moving to that sort of business model unfortunely.

I saw some "Smart Oven" kitchen thing that you insert meal kits into and it spits out finished meals. It required a companion subscription to get the meal kits that you put into it. I didn't look too far into it to see if it was possible to use the thing without the subscription, it seemed like not.
