I've inherited an old PC from my girlfriend's dad and when setting up the printer I got a bit of a surprise:
Two questions spring to mind here:
Why does Windows think my wireless keyboard is a toaster?
Why does Windows even have an icon for a toaster in the devices menu?
Reason 1
Because Microsoft made a toaster driver sample. In the sample there is the line <DeviceIconFile>Toaster.ico</DeviceIconFile> and there is a chance that your keyboard manufacturer took that sample.

This is sort of a follow-up to two past discussions:
Toward a philosophy of Chat
Does the Be Nice policy require SE users to "be nice" to people who are not SE users (e.g. public figures)?

Comments with citations that support your position usually work better than asking people to disprove them, no? Having said that, I'm not having much fun with systemd either...
@RolandiXor Thanks for sharing the comments. I don't think you're wrong as such, but maybe a little overly pessimistic. But did I miss something, cause I didn't see a lot of response to you. Were comments deleted?
@Seth it's only one of the things I mentioned iirc. Oh and btw, since the switch to systemd, I've had two systems (one of them not even mine) be unable to use lightdm on startup.
