Me go first:

  • Most printer: we all know ...
  • Keurig: a coffee pod machine that use one-time pod. They once refuse to use third party pod with a chip.
  • Juicero: a luxury juicer that squeeze juice from repack pod (which you can squeeze by hand). The machine will only work with pre-pack pod. You cannot make the machine work with your own food or vegetable.

You know any ? Any product, startup, dead or alive.

I remember reading about a specific dishwasher brand that uses proprietary cartridge for the soap. It uses smartcard to tell how many wash cycle left so you can't refill it.

The article was about how to hack that smartcard so you can refill it.
