I bought a washer that has wifi connectivity. It want to texts me or something when the cycle is finished and doesn't even seem to have a 'play a loud beep when done' option. How does this make any sense at all?
My brother in christ, you bought the machine
I think we aren't yet used to machines fucking us over in unexpected ways for that sweet sweet spying/ad revenue.
Like, who would have asked 10 years ago "will my TV show extra ads?". Now it's hard to get one that doesn't have them. And dishwashers are next
Ok sure. What I really did was buy a new washer that was on sale and I got $100 off. Maybe I will have it connect to my neighbors WiFi, since they never secured it.
