I believevthat if a dishwasher sees a sock, it’s that it might be used for the wrong purposes.

I think in 1980 3.7 GB of data seemed further away then a flying car.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
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: "I just shot a gorilla, and altered the future!
20 and 26: “FUCK OFF 2012!!!”

Harambe was in 2016, unless you’re from the alternate timeline where the event actually happened in 2012.

…ok, either you somehow have the ability to alter google results before I search for them, or this is some Bearenstein Bears Bullshit!
I SWEAR it was in 2012…wait, was Kony 2012 not in 2012? I remember them both happening in the same summer.

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.”

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.

You’re right, but also, why did someone use AI to make this image look worse??

ImageLook at the numbers on the scale. Look at the “Downloaid” numbers. Look at the fact that “Syvert” is apparently a data unit.
ptu@sopuli.xyz 5 hours ago
On the day that’s between 31\ and 59, the scale that goes from 15poc to 301 000 is making up less Uploaid, of which the total is 53,8B Syert. Both totals are 3.66 GB

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.

Have dumb washer and dryer. I set an alarm for an hour. It won’t hurt your clothes sitting for a second.
Grass@sh.itjust.works 19 minutes ago
I miss the one at my old apartment that was combined wash and dry. I could toss stuff in at 4, eat breakfast, fuck off for work, come back and its all washed and dried with no sitting there all day wet smell.

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.
kinsnik@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
why do you even need to have your washer connected to the internet at all?
Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 7 hours ago
because those people don’t thi j, they do what they are told by companies. there is ZERO logical reason to have the thing connected to the internet.
it won’t add soap…it won’t add clothes…it won’t remove clothes…
there is nothing that machine can do better while connected to the internet vs offline…if there is, then it’s a limitation/problem specifically designed to make the product worse, in order to manipulate people to sign up for stupid crap.
ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
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.
ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works 6 hours ago
I wouldn’t mind being able to start my washer remotely - I want it to run while I’m not home because it’s noisy, but I don’t want the wet laundry to sit all day like it would if I started it and then went to work.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I wonder if usage of a phone app for controling and such impacts data use. If the app connects to an LG server before processing the task or notification, maybe its also grabbing a bunch of data from the phone as well?
DisgruntledGorillaGang@reddthat.com 3 hours ago
What kind of permissions does the app ask for? That’ll tell ya right there.

Why do you have it hooked up to the Internet?
FrederikNJS@piefed.zip 7 hours ago
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.

SirHaxalot@nord.pub 7 hours ago
Seen a bunch of theories on this but the most likely one is that the washer ended up in a loop of failing firmware updates, downloading the same thing over and over again. It fits with the graph showing that it’s downloaded data. Could also straight up be a reporting bug in the router as someone else said.

rezifon@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
I dunno, man. Home Assistant talks to my LG washer and dryer. The tablet on my desk shows a countdown timer for both when they’re running. It’s convenient as hell because I can’t hear the finish chime from my office.
Just to stay on topic, according to my router they’ve generated 256KB of traffic this week and 1.55MB the past month.
anyhow2503@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Network access can make sense if you want to be notified when your wash is done. Some cycles don’t have a preset running time. You can do some neat stuff with home automation. None of that should require internet access or use a cloud service controlled by the manufacturer.
FireRetardant@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
But how will LG know my usage patterns to better nickel and dime their next model down to bare minimum standards if my device isn’t checking in with the cloud every couple minutes? My device needs weekly software updates so it can notify me when the pump mysteriously quits after an update and the washer has already booked the service visit and shared my credit info with the repair company.

And so far the flying cars that exist are about 10 times as expensive as normal cars. One of those things you buy if you already got the Lamborghini and have still an empty spot in the garage.

There was but, from what I recall, it turned out to be a bug in the router software not counting the traffic correctly.
