And for some reason it seems to be quite jarring for french native speakers if somebody uses the wrong gender. I have tried to learn french for like 10 years and I have received absolutely no feelings about either the right or wrong genders. Both of them always sound just as fine.

la baguette? le baguette? No difference. But that's how it works of course.

It's the same gender than all machines, which is obviously feminine.

There's no fixed rule for this but if a noun ends with a consonant it's probably masculine and if it ends with a vowel it's possibly feminine. Again, not a consistent rule and it will not work for everything, but if you must take a guess, this might help, or not.

Now this reminds me of Sebastian Marx and his videos on French. Like this one on pronunciation.
