Everything is now "smart" indeed. Would is have a single "if ... then ... else" statement, it be called AI enhanced 😂
I just want dumb appliances that just work
That's a Stalin quote, no?
I think we all do. I feel this way about my vehicles too.
real talk, they are trying to put WiFi and updates into dishwashers now like excuse me?
My dishwasher has WiFi. I have no idea why my dirty dishes need Internet access.
I can understand local conection, so it can be conected to home assistant, Information it's done can be good thing. But why it need fucking cloud? I did not find any smart washing machine without mandatory cloud! Why the fuck BLE meat thermometer need user account in cloud to give me temperature!?
Yes, and no fucking beeps.
You're worried about beeps? In Japan, appliances sing musical jingles.
For clothes washing, buy Speed Queen or Huebsch (if available in your country).
Reminds me of a time I went to an open house for sale. Lady was selling her home after engineer husband passed. The entire kitchen was frozen in time from the 1950’s. Pristine condition. The agent and I marveled at the appliances. The dishwasher opened, closed, and “clicked” like heavy classic Cadillac doors. MAKE APPLIANCES GREAT AGAIN!
And repairable
