"The trouble began in August 2017, when my boyfriend and I moved in together, and I quickly revealed myself to be an absolute ding-dong at loading the dishwasher." —Ellen Cushing for The Atlantic

There Are Two Types of Dishwasher People

And only one of them <em>really</em> knows how to load it.

@kallemp @geerlingguy @internetofshit OFC, for any "#aaS" setup that may be valid.

And in #business cases, where there's a "pay per use" payment structure (i.e. expensive machinery like cranes in #construction get rented per machine runtime & availability onsite per hour and some leased CNC machines) it does make sense to collect telemetry so technicians (who may be onsite or not) get alerted instantly and show up with the correct tooling and parts.

As for #dishwasher|s, even the industrial-grade ones used in canteens of universities or chemical laboratories ain't in such setups:

They just have 1-2 "warm spares" hooked up and ready to take over if one machine fails, and they just have the cleaners and janitor regularly maintain them.

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

Shite 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!

Have you ever notice how there's always more and more #computer in the #technouogy things surrounding us, but many of them utterly fail at being actually calculation machines? My favourite among all of these is when you want set your #dishwasher or #washingmachine to finish or start at a certain time. Some of the damn things even connect to the internet, but they can't figure out when to start if you want your washing to be done before 7 so you can put in the dryer before you leave for work 😂
