It's extraordinary to see the number of people commenting here with "convenience" justifications for why this dishwasher.... a fucking dishwasher.... could indeed benefit from simply letting it run its firmware updates via WiFi. A number of silly, absurd pretects for essentially saying "well, it's not so bad really, I kind of see the point because it will let you do X and Y, Oh and the algo might recommend better soap!"........... Again, it's a fucking dishwasher. Stack dishes. Press button. Wash dishes. It absolutely does not need a bloody algorithm trying to force you the owner into anything. The idea is absurd, and seeing so many defenses of convenience for such pushy, prying things is as well on the same site where so many people also frequently complain about our worrisome surveillance capitalism/corporatism future of constant user tracking and tech lock-in and siloing. If some people can't even easily stomach the notion of washing dishes without dubious software updates and data hoarding algorithms, so many other, more serious parts of digital independence are well sold to hell down the road.
