The kicker here is that the "industrial revolution" (aka, not living hand to mouth and dying in the wilderness) also provides a way to avoid things like dishwasher DRM. Now this guy has a product that solves the problem: https://www.tindie.com/products/dekuNukem/bob-rewinder-renew-your-bob-dishwasher-cassette/ https://www.tindie.com/products/dekuNukem/bob-rewinder-renew... The real problem here isn't the availability of technology as much as broken laws which prevent us from modifying the things we own to best suit our needs. I don't have much issue with selling convenience. Most people I know will happily pay multiples of an optimal price for small convenience (most people I know will buy bottled water). As long as the law doesn't interfere with people who want to add their own caustics and detergent this way, then what's the actual issue?
