  Or start it right before you leave. I swear, people in this thread are bending over backwards to try and justify having to connect appliances to the internet. It’s wild.

    I mean, in a vacuum, a smart washer is a nice idea which is actually useful. Set the time to start the washer to 430 so it finishes when you get home. That’s a good and useful improvement.

    In practice however, gestures wildly there’s the obvious data collection both of your laundry habits and anything the app on your phone can reach.

    I’m not opposed to smart tech, but it has to actually benefit to product. A smart TV is a better TV (again, the data collection BS, but I am ignoring that for the moment). It can launch Netflix or Hulu or whatever, and you can watch from the comfort of your couch without another device. It is doing TV better than a non smart TV.

    Also, I would love it if there was a good FOSS TvOS.

    That’s having wet laundry sit for most of the day, which the person above already said they didn’t want to do.

  You think I can remember to set that?! Well look at you, miss functional adult!
