Your washing machine could be sending 3.7 GB of data a day — LG washing machine owner disconnected his device from Wi-Fi after noticing excessive outgoing daily data traffic
I can think of a few smart functionalities of a washer that'd be nice. None of these would be motivation enough to buy one though, unless it was open source, which I'd guess isn't a thing.
Yeah, I wouldn't mind getting a notification on my phone ... sometimes I don't hear the little chime or I do but I'm the middle of something and forget.
Literally get a vibration sensor and an esp32. Push notifications for a change in sensor value. Hoorah. No one needs to start it from their phone. You physically have to move the shit around anyways.
That means you don't get any of the benefits of it being a smart TV. Which is fine, but unlike a washing machine there are actually obvious benefits for a smart TV.
Yeah except you can't really find a TV without the "smart" features anymore and I already have an echo cube thingy that does the smart stuff lol. So in my case it's not really a waste to leave it off. My other TV is connected to the internet and I can't even go to the gd settings page without being bombarded with ads it's super dumb
Everything comes internet enabled, runs software that won't receive updates, comes with a shitty phone app, and some sort of subscription service either to enable features or auto buy product.
