Seriously, I agree with @geerlingguy and I'll refuse to buy @internetofshit / #InternetOfShit devices.

• Seriously, shit like this should be not only #illegal, but prosecuted as fraud.

There is no legitimate reason a #Dishwasher needs #Internet access or an #App.

• You know what my #WashingMachine needs to start (or finish) at a certain time? Me knowing how many hours it'll be from now on till it has to start (and some 2nd grade math to add the time till the program finishes)... IT DOESN'T EVEN HAVE A SHITTY CLOCK INSIDE!!!

Seriously, I'm just mad at this #Enshittification!

• Call me weird but I'll only get an #EV if I can charge it as fast as I can gas up my Corsa D and pay for it in cash (or #Monero if I can get Monero for cash w/o #KYC!) and not have all the "#eCall" #tracking bs in it!

Good morning and happy Friday!

This weird week has come to almost an end...not quite. My washer died about a week or so ago, so I'm picking up our new washer tonight after work.

Here's hoping it's easy enough to get in / out of my car and into our basement. Setup should be, hopefully, straight forward.

But, time will tell.

I hate washing machines.

They are always stealing my material

…

Especially socks.

@meraord Top Loaders are generally more reliable than front loaders. However, I think top loaders use more water than front loaders.
I had a Samsung 6kg front loader for 5 years+ and it never gave an issue, just make sure you clean it once a month with a Finish Tablet. #washingmachine #tips

Our washing machine is (finally) on the fritz. It is top loader that is into year 15-ish. Switching to front loading for the water savings.

Anything I should look out for? Brand/model recommendations?

My washing machine is dumb (as it should be), but it would be nice to at least receive a notification when it's done washing.

I've got these #ESP32 smart plugs that I flashed with #Tasmota a few years ago, I wonder if I can detect when it's done washing based on the power draw alone

hubby's shop for #FediGiftShop #smallbusiness. Only posting 2 SFW links here, but check out his store for the other stuff (and not exactly SFW). Note that almost everything he's created, we use around the house - the SFW stuff (love my dishwasher prop!) and the other stuff (two pots sitting on the deck all year - South Dakota weather).
