    I can sort of see things like washing machines, even if I would rather it not. It can tell you when it’s done, some even run a diagnostics to tell you if something is wrong.

    But yeah, it’s a drill. It’s not that complicated. I don’t need it to tell me when it’s done when I need to be there to use it.

      Why does a washing machine need enough complexity to require diagnostics?

      That’s just nuts.

      I use one cycle, on cold, all it’s gotta do is agitate the water.

      My family had the same washing machine for 30+ years. I’m not seeing why that needs to be redesigned. Parts were still available when we replaced it.

        Exactly.

        Old electromechanical washers and driers were SO much better than the modern computerized shit.

        More durable too.
