My LG washing machine has a wifi connection and one of the advertised feature was the possibility to download a custom washing program set from the app.
I thought it kinda makes sense, because building a custom program involves many steps, timers and settings. A mobile UI would be better than the appliance's buttons.
Well, imagine my deception when I got to try the app and the custom programs is just a list of a dozen more niche presets. No customization whatsoever.
It's really like the machines we buy are no longer ours to control.
