Your smart coffee pot is secretly a demon-slaying machine

A hacker named Robin M. discovered that a Spengler PSL50 smart coffee machine—the kind you see in self-service kiosks—is secretly running a full Linux computer. With a Cortex A9 processor, a touchscreen, and an exposed debug port, it was practically begging to be hacked. All it took was a little probing to find the right pins, and Robin had a console connection to the machine's 2013-era operating system.

Thanks to zero security measures—no password on the bootloader, no protections whatsoever—the hacker compiled a version of DOOM that renders directly to the framebuffer and loaded it onto the coffee maker. Now, while you wait for your morning brew, you can blast demons on the same screen that usually asks for payment. It’s the latest in a long line of 'DOOM on everything' projects, proving that if it has a chip and a display, someone will make it run the 1993 shooter.
