My drier and whole house heater mines crypto while it's heating lol. That was my dream.
But now I got this washer instead. It comes with default chacka chacka and spin slowly and black hole modes. I think I'm gonna get the new wacka wacka washing mode and the one where you can play music through the motor.
That's a big load! I hope I got enough ram!
Botnet node? 3GB sounds excessive even for a company that's notoriously invasive.
As someone else already posted, the 3GB was incorrect, it was a router reporting incorrect traffic.
But that doesn't seem to stop everyone here from continuing to post how the thing that didn't happen in the first place is ridiculous...
I'm sure this got posted before and the most likely reason was that it was downloading some sort of update and failing to apply it repeatedly.
When your washing machine tries to download Baldurs Gate 3 because it’s bored too
😏
This nonsense keeps getting reposted, when it was discovered previously it was a router reporting error

Now the Chinese government knows exactly how many socks have gone missing, but no it won't tell you where they all went.
They can't because even they have no clue where those socks went. The inter-dimensional portal is very well hidden.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Solution in search of a problem.
I guess a mobile alert that lets you know the cycle is finished could be handy? Ability to schedule a load to start later? Maybe a maintenance or problem alert? Depleted detergent and fabric softener reservoir?
Possibly an energy usage chart for the nerds out there who like that kind of thing?
But damn, all of that shouldn't need more than a few kb a day max.
I always thought a simple analog speaker output could solve most of those. Let us string a wire to a remote speaker nearer to where we’re likely to be
For most of these events an internet connection isn't necessary at all.
My machine shows the time that is needed for the program when I start it. I know when it will be finished right from the beginning. There's no surprise, no message necessary. If I tend to forget the time, then I can set a reminder in my smartphone.
I can program the machine while I load it to start the washing later. Why load the machine but then program it from a distance? Makes no sense.
Detergent is filled in before each washing cycle. There's nothing to be depleted.
A maintenance or problem alert would be the only thing that could be worth a message function. But: My machine works without problems for 15 years now. So: what should it be messaging me? We can really live better without these useless electronics that only push up the price and the distraction.
Yeah, I was reaching for really extreme cases. Maybe an IOT wash machine with a smooth app is easier to program than a machine with a control panel itself.
Who knows, the tech could hypothetically be useful.
Any why don't we have reservoirs with measured doses of detergent anyways? That would be kinda rad.
Seriously; wasnt there a chip shortage?
