From this point on , any useful new technology, any advancement in medicine, will be for the very wealthy. The rest of us will be taking ivermectin and paying unholy fees just to keep driving our falling-apart cars.
I just checked. My LG washer and LG dryer both transmit ~30KB a day whether we use them or not. I do like being notified when they finish since they're in the basement and my work desk is upstairs. I wouldn't know otherwise.
Set a timer?
they're learning every crease in your underwear
Long as they dont know my skids...
I think in 1980 3.7 GB of data seemed further away then a flying car.
We have the tech for flying cars, it's just not practical or economical. We've even got flying bikes and good jet packs
Flying cars would be a nightmare for the FAA. Helicopters are enough for cases where you need to land in a small area where fixed-wing aircraft can’t
The idiots around my place can't even get around in regular cars. Pretty damn sure half of them would be dead within 2 months so it's flying cars.
Oof imagine the severity of car accidents when they occur in the sky
"Sock! Sock! Sock! Sock! Sock! Sock! Sock! Sock! Sock! Shirt! Sock! Sock! Sock! Sock!" - LG Dishwasher, probably.
I believe that if a dishwasher sees a sock, it might be used for the wrong purposes.
You don't know me.
I wonder how many cum socks it would take to poison the data collected 🤔

Pretty disappointed in Lemmy not noticing and downvoting this AI slop.
I'm all for calling out bullshit IoT garbage but zoom in and look closer.
For a while, I carefully scrutinized every image for signs of AI
Now, I've decided to not bother with a close examination unless it's important for some reason. There's not enough time in the day
You're right, but also, why did someone use AI to make this image look worse??
The original is included in this article: https://www.tomshardware.com/networking/your-washing-machine-could-be-sending-37-gb-of-data-a-day
Lovely_reader doing the real investigative journalism here, I love it ☺️
So yes it's ai slopified, but it is also a real graph that didn't need to be slopified but was done so using AI upscaling.
So, everyone is right in a way fun twist 😅
Pretty sure I saw a post version of this like a year ago or so, with the font not janky in any way

1980: "I bet there will be flying cars in the future!"
2026: "Oh......nonononononono. That would be far too dangerous. Not after 9/11."
80: "9/11?"
26: "Yeah, they flew a bunch of planes into buildings, and blew up the pentagon, and the world trade center buildings, and an empty field in PA."
80: "Why would they blow up an empty field?"
26: "Because those men and women inside that plane are HEROS!"
80: "I don't understand....."
2020: "Hey guys!"
26: "Oh god! 1980, put this mask on. 2020 is here."
80: "I don't understand whats going on..."
~~2012~~ 2016: "I just shot a gorilla, and altered the future!
20 and 26: "FUCK OFF ~~2012~~ 2016!!!"
Harambe was in 2016, unless you're from the alternate timeline where the event actually happened in 2012.
Harambes demise was fortold by the Mayans.

Me after 9/11/2001 seeing all the American flags being waved, reminiscent of Nazi Germany: "I sure hope this doesn't lead where it looks like it could lead..."
Later: "Fuck."
For what it's worth, my LG washer has sent 14.3 MB in the past MONTH, but my Unifi router has misidentified my Nvidia Shield TV as another LG washer. The Shield has downloaded 11.6 GB in the past month, mostly from YouTube. While I don't doubt it's possible for a washer to send/receive that much data if it's compromised and part of a botnet, I'd also question whether the device in question is actually an LG laundry appliance.
why do you even need to have your washer connected to the internet at all?
Knowing when the washer is done with a polite buzz on my wrist is way better than not hearing a beeper from 3 rooms away. It also reports your energy and water usage so you can learn about where you use resources.
There’s a lot to be gained from smart appliances, it’s just that our current system makes the manufacturers adversarial to the users unfortunately.

If I remember correctly the OP of this network traffic graph figured out that their network equipment were accidentally misattributing the traffic to the washer, and it was actually some other device that had caused the traffic.
The toaster
Another reason why im buying a speed queen.
You guys aren’t seeding torrents with your appliances?
