It is ridiculous fast and probably not really smart.
But, the fact that we (Europe) have labels for the maximum speed a tire is approved for even till 300kmh, does indicate it is not abnormal.
As others already mentioned, above a certain speed, in case of an accident, you will be held more accountable.
But folks with BMW, Audi, Porsches etc. do drive serious cars. Going faster than 250 is not an issue with most of the models. The biggest challenge is to slow down from these speeds in a controlled way.

I couldn’t agree more with your stand about the need for devices to be smart.
It is all about data-mining and advertising.
Maybe this is just me (or wishful thinking), but I do notice more people being cautious about stuff that needs a cloud connection.
People around me create dummy accounts to register Android enabled televisions, prefer stuff by eufy over ring etc.
Maybe we -as a bunch of uncontrollable nerds- should educate people more or at least share stuff like the wiki by Louis.
People need to know, they are the product…

Oh! The IOT toaster, perhaps a really good analogy! That was a good read and fitting for this situation.
When was it published? 2019/2020 ?? Well, took just 5 years for the corporate greed to get on par.

The point here is:
- not all functionality is available as-is. You need to install a cloud connected app.
- a cloud connection is not per se one direction. It is more than possible, the people operating this cloud (for Bosch) have the means (read: api) to connect back into your network via the hardware.
You might take a good look at this work.
As long as the firmware of the dishwasher isn’t audited by third parties (or even better: open source), who knows what it is able to do in your network?
And all of this is not necessary, before the cloud, dishwashers worked fine too.

Blink the window-title and in case something like a taskbar is used, use the application icon to get attention.
But don’t act like you are the most important and single application on the system. Be modest.

Every single application or popup window will always attempt to get the highest z-order and switch keyboard input focus from wherever you were working to this window.
More than once, this resulted in input into the wrong window, causing problems.
And running this piece of junk os in a triple monitor setup; why do new windows (mainly outlook related) open on a different monitor ? If my input is on monitor 2, why are new windows opened on monitor 1 or 2?
A straight forward install of a recent Ubuntu version is much friendly for the user. But, as stated by someone else, improving the product is not gaining any cash flow.

Can’t he get the extremely terrible way of grabbing focus and changing z-order fixed? That would be great…

Exactly this. Foolish ideas from someone behind a desk.
Nerds and hackers will win this easily.
