  • No one called you any names. They said your advice is ridiculous, but that’s not name calling. That’s critiquing.

    They’re not using your dishwasher for your needs, they’re using their dishwasher for their needs. They likely don’t overlap. Different models have different feature sets. One can say that they should have done more research into the home networking requirements for super basic features (as heavily explained in the article that we’re all commenting on, and you seem to have completely ignored), but frankly that’s beside the point. The baseline should not be well below par. The baseline should not be “download our potential spyware that also doesn’t necessarily work very well with your system just so you can use basic features”.

    I’m glad you like smart features. I think people should have that kind of flexibility and choice in their home environment. The problem here is that when using this particular appliance, they don’t have that choice. That is a problem. Even if, when you use your appliance, you don’t have that issue, they do. Because they are not you, and do not have the exact same use case that you do.










  • Speaking as a perpetual wallflower who has never been to a rave in my life, I found it understandable. Admittedly I’ve heard the term “molly” in reference to ecstasy, but you see as guy wide-eyed staring at someone who looks incredibly uncomfortable about it. Seems pretty obvious that’s the “molly bear” that uses “prolonged eye contact” to make “uh-ohs” so uncomfortable that they either leave or at least don’t come to another one.

    Ideally, that artist would let you pay for just the non-NSFW content

    They do. I don’t know if this person just decided to grab the highest tier without reading or something, but the lowest tiers don’t have anything explicit associated with them.
