“Someone hacked my washing machine” is not the cyberpunk future we wanted.
It’s streaming the wash cycle. Please don’t block it, I watch that.
Why is you washing machine connected to anything to begin with? If you do not want that, you do not enable it.
The only possible reason for an Internet connected washing machine is to provide alerts when it is done or when it has failed.
And honestly, if you need an alert on your phone to tell you when your washing machine has finished, you probably need to be more aware of your surroundings and learn how to prioritise tasks.
The only possible reason for an Internet connected washing machine is to provide alerts when it is done or when it has failed.
Mine just beep loudly when that happens, no internet needed.
Yeah, it beeps loudly. Once.
I love the notification on my phone that the wash is done. If I had to leave the house while something was in the wash I can leave the notification until I get home. Even if I’m busy working and want to deal with it later it’s a great reminder. I was awful for leaving clothes in the wash for hours and sometimes overnight before I got a wifi connected washer and dryer.
If only there was a way for something on your phone to remind you of an event that you know the precise time off.
