Dan PortsCan’t wait to find out how this upgrade enhances my dishwasher’s performance.
At least it’s not adding new AI features, I guess…

jakob.pxi@someone_else @dan I have not seen this discussed often, but parceling out software even for a one-time feature enabling move has become a way to circumnavigate tariffs. Ship and invoice hardware at cost or even lower, enable functionality after arrival for a price that does not appear on import documents. Very useful, if not necessary for continuing to outsource production to cheap labor or dropship stuff altogether.
The shitty incentives of the current economic system abound.
gsec@jakob @someone_else @dan cool, let's just export cars with an empty fuel tank, if it's that easy (:
