why do I support right to repair? simple: i want to upload my own MIDI files to my washing machine to play when it finishes a cycle without voiding my warranty
for the record, it would be the intro to Gimme Gimme Gimme.

@samhenrigold gimme gimme gimme
a load full of laundry
won’t somebody help me
wash the dirt all away

(disco noises)

@dgriffinjones @samhenrigold

or, hear me out:

🎶 With your lights, and your darks, and your wools, and your knits,
and your deli- and your deli- and your delicates!
What's in your basket? In your baaaasket,
LAUNDRY! LAUNDRY! LAUNDRY, EEE, EEE, EEE!

@dgriffinjones @samhenrigold @Lunatic_Moth (this is a great tune to sing while trying to get cranberry stains out)

@samhenrigold

Won't somebody help me fold the clothes away? Gimme, gimme, gimme a peg after midnight

@samhenrigold hahaha I'd upload the entire suite of Deep Space Nine midis 😆  awesome idea tho!!

@samhenrigold a few entries down I discovered the announcement that there's been a new version of the Wilhelm Scream digitized from original sources....

Attached: 1 audio The original ADR session of the most famous scream in cinema history has been found and is now on Freesound! Check out these alternate takes of "Man eaten by alligator" AKA "The Wilhelm." https://freesound.org/people/craigsmith/sounds/675810/ #postchat

@samhenrigold I too have a Samsung, and that would totally work!!
@samhenrigold what? Not Axel F from Beverly Hills Cop? Or that riff from Sweet Child of Mine?
after reading this I'm trying to imagine a thread on xda-developers with a custom firmware for a washing machine
@grishka I found a reddit post and one of the comments had the phrase “bricked my dryer” which was more than enough indication that i was in way over my head
@samhenrigold straight up follow, not even lookin! 🤓🤓👍

@samhenrigold And the clothes dryer.

Dishwasher.

Fridge.

@samhenrigold I’m now having this dystopian vision where the home automation detects the front door opening, and a massed chorus of fridge, toaster, coffee-maker, washing machine, dryer, toothbrush and microwave oven burst into the opening movement of Beethoven’s 5th.

Hilarious!
My personal favourite remains the music played on MRI machines (for example https://youtu.be/VYAvxe9X3s0) however most homes don’t have one.
MUSIC FROM MRI GRADIENT SYSTEM

YouTube
@infinite8horizon @bornach @samhenrigold And the MRI still works as expected! *Seriously* cool!
@samhenrigold I mean, now that you say that, my thought is to instead modify the MIDI playback so that each stage of the washing machine cycle plays a different MIDI during it, so that progress is audible (Using, for example, different looped sections of, say, this [ https://youtu.be/P3MBQciFeHo ]).

@samhenrigold Ohhhhhh, if I cloud flash new sounds on to the washer, the would would be a much better place.
@mary OMG, now I want to do that!!!
@samhenrigold @thomasfuchs I didn’t know I needed this until this very moment.
@samhenrigold
I'd like to replace the lame-ass, damn near inaudible speaker with something I can hear. Also, maybe an awooga horn when it's done.
@Tourma @samhenrigold (un)fortunately mine is IoT so it sends me a smartphone notification and my watch vibrates on my wrist then
@me @samhenrigold
Same. But the person who does most the laundry has only a Kindle Fire, which doesn't have the app on it. So I get the notifications even though I'm Nat even at home.

@samhenrigold @colinpeters

The tune mine plays sounds suspiciously like a numbers station transmission.

I'd be genuinely afraid to open any part of it other than the door or the lint filter. 😳😱😂

@samhenrigold there has to be an easier way to do this
@samhenrigold
Until now I didn't know that I need a drum machine, a 303 and a fm synth in my washing machine, but now I know... 🤯

@samhenrigold @foone Could you go a step further and adjust the agitate cycle to have a matching rhythm?
@samhenrigold ... I now want washing machine MIDI played through 80s/90s MIDI devices. I want a MT-32 washing machine.
@samhenrigold TOTALLY ! You spin me right round... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PGNiXGX2nLU

@samhenrigold @sabik I’d settle for the washing machine playing its tune after the door was released, rather than a few minutes before anything can be done about the sound.
@samhenrigold I prefer the stock LG melody https://youtu.be/5Y7rj98trow

@samhenrigold Sorry but you need to download the Samsung Samsings Companion App™ where you can purchase Tide Tunes™ and upload them to your dishwasher (Subscription required).
@samhenrigold hearing the BeeGees "Staying Alive" after every laundry cycle indicates to me it has been a successful laundry session. ☺️
@samhenrigold or disable the beeping altogether because it only annoys those who are out in the garden anyway, the rest of the house cannot hear the beeping from the basement
@samhenrigold You may have mentioned it somewhere else and I just missed it, but what model is this that has the capability? Because I love this idea in general...

@samhenrigold

"Don't you forget about me" by Simple Minds would be a suitable track to play 😉

@samhenrigold I think I'd go for literally anything other than the Trout Quintet with a random six-note jingle stuck on the end
@samhenrigold dammit. Now I want that. Thanks.

@samhenrigold One day I shall have a car that upon startup informs me:

"REACTOR ONLINE
SENSORS ONLINE
WEAPONS ONLINE
ALL SYSTEMS NOMINAL"

@samhenrigold that would be cool and awesome and great i dont think anything will ever top the little jingle samsung washers have
@samhenrigold taking an argument all the way to the supreme court that using the final fantasy victory fanfare for a washing machine cycle complete notification counts as fair use
