My ~25 year old dishwasher has a delay-start. That solved the stray dish issue for us.
You don't need a wifi connection for delayed start. Every dishwasher I've owned in the past 20 years has had a delayed start button.

Thank you for this. I have spent the last few years bringing up my kids, and now dread the application process in getting back to work, lots of interesting little projects that are not online and yes health issues have been in my way.

How do I present myself as worthy in this landscape?
Very cool.

Colors are mixed internally in a four-component pigment space instead of RGB. To accelerate the conversion back to RGB for realtime painting, two 48 MB look-up tables are used.

The choice of these four primary pigments seems like a crucial artistic choice, because any color you choose on a traditional RGB/HSV picker is reinterpreted as a combination of these pigments. Seems like there might be an opportunity here to rethink the traditional color picker.

This algorithm is apparently implemented in a painting app called Rebelle. I haven't heard about it before, but I think I'll buy a license because it looks awesome:

Honestly this is my experience as well, they “just work” till they just don’t work. Than getting either the Apple or Microsoft product to work is usually hours of time wasted.

I guess you could say the same about open source or systems like Linux where they also have their issues, but fixing those issues always seems to be a fraction of the time.

You are making some pretty uncharitable assumptions here, and frankly I find this entire post very distasteful. Who decides what is "pseudo-truth" instead of "actual truth"?

Do they? Because that's literally the only kind of update I'd be interested in. If they actually regularly improve the way the dishwasher washes dishes, then that justifies the connectivity, but if these updates are rare, then I don't really care about them.
I fear for the day that we can no longer purchase dumb appliances, cars without connectivity/touchscreens/etc.
I'm surprised they are using "conscientiousness" exclusively in the sense of being careful and nothing about knowing right from wrong. There are so many jobs in the tech industry that a truly conscientious person should steer clear of.

If you plan on hiring from the world's precious pool of conscientious people, please make damn sure that the job warrants that quality. Take a hard look at your employer's effect on the world before hiring a conscientious person who will find those sore spots eventually, at great personal cost.
For most of the world, bidets are a thing an it is a curious thing as to why the toliet paper industry is so powerful in the west.

I prefer the bidet, and seeing normal reams of toliet paper cost now $30 for the "mega" value pack, I'm amused at the production of something, the trucking of something, the retailing of something that is ultimately discarded . The whole thinking and execution of it is backwards.

You would have had a higher vaccine compliance if the dialogue would never have been about mandates. Just give a health recommendation. You wouldn't have reached everyone, but the science also said that you do not need to.

In some countries we will see mandates without any perspective. For the third dosage? The fourth? The opposition is correct when it says you only get your freedom back if you boot out those responsible for this in the first place. No politician comes out and admits mistakes, not even in democracies.

People talk as if a political and a scientific opinion are equivalent. That is obviously not the case most of the time.

Call me a luddite but my dishwasher has an on / off button, a mode selector, and a start delay and that's all I need.

I'm not going to attack people that feel like a smart dishwasher is useful for them, just that, it's not for me.

I do have a smart thermostat, but I don't pay its annual subscription fees because I don't use the features it enables. I do appreciate its daily temperature, humidity, and heating graphs though.
Precisely. The reason it needs a firmware upgrade is that the manufacturer made the choice to make it so needlessly complicated that it ... needs a firmware upgrade.
Agree, but I think there are a number of us that don't want a menu that needs exiting on our dishwasher.

Here's one idea: sensor-based washing. I doubt anyone is currently doing this, but the idea can at least hold water (ba-dum-tss).

You'd keep the dumb maximum spray-area approach for the pre-wash & rinse cycles, but replace the main wash cycle with a "smart-nozzle" approach that uses a radar (or some other non-optical sensor) to detect surfaces and apply a directed spray.

Theoretically, that would save on energy costs/impact (heating water costs way more than running a SoC/radar), even if the overall wash quality wouldn't really be improved much in most cases. Plus... the technology would be super marketable, imagine the commercials!
That is a genuinely nice user interface. I can see what virtually everything is from a distance in the picture.

I especially like the larger fuel gauge; I drove a car once that had a handful of little LCD rectangles like a coarse bar graph. I struggled to tell if I had 50% or 75% left!
The only improvement on that which I've seen is a dishwasher which projects the runtime left onto the floor (instead of just a off/on light).
In the past all software was offline. You had to get it right before you shipped it.
With 95% of work now being cloud-based, it actually seems to be getting hard to keep an engineering/product culture that can deliver right-first-time software, because most engineers, PMs, and managers have never worked in one. I've actually seen products shipped now which wouldn't work at all without an update because the software wasn't finished, and the business decided to ship anyway (to retail) giving engineers a race to get the working version before customers opened the boxes in a few weeks. So yes, it may need an update, just for fixes, because that's how we roll now apparently. It sucks.
Work smarter, not harder. And remember that technology is your assistant, not a competitor.

Maybe it is just the absurdity of an organized gang of rapists mobbing avatars while taking selfies in the Metaverse.

Never the less, I can't stop grinning, maybe my mind has finally broken.

Hmm the article says: In effect, if you look at things from the “inside view” of the async fn, cancellation looks like the await call panicking – it unwinds the stack, running the destructors for all values. The analogy, of course, only goes so far: you can’t, for example, “catch” the unwinding from a cancellation. Also, panics arise from code that the thread executed, but cancellations are injected from the outside when the async fn’s result is no longer needed

It also references Javas deprecated Thread.stop which looks very similar to .Nets Thread.Abort
This virtual expo is quite nice to have a look, thanks for posting!
I have never once needed my dishwasher to be operated remotely. Load it and press start.

The dishes get clean and it has no software just buttons. If the dishes get clean what further enhancements needed to be done?
I never connected my TV to the wifi, I just want it to be a dumb monitor. The downside is that it takes forever to turn on as, I suspect, its trying to find a wifi to connect to.
It doesn't have to be an outright prohibition. The power of a gentle "recommendation" is enough.
None of those 'good' are very good, or good at all. The buttons on the front are a few cents. On a $1000 appliance, that benefits only the manufacturer (if even them).

Being able to ship buggy software, again a benefit to the manufacturer.

More complex controls for more complex cycles etc? Questionable if this kind of fiddling on e.g. a dishwasher is of any use.

Collecting data - because we want to spend Saturday in a spreadsheet, going over our dishwasher telemetry? Oh! Maybe you mean, also only of use to the manufacturer. Not my problem; not a reason to make my device more complicated for me.
I am completely honest here: We had a dishwasher since I was a little child (it's very common here)

The first one we had, we had for over 20 years until it broke down.

If I can only get an IoT-thingy, I'll refuse to buy one and either repair the old one or wash by hand.

I am a green-nut, so I try to minimize my eco-footprint, but enough is enough and I draw a line when my dishwasher needs to phone home.

What software update could it possible need? A better algorithm for dosage?
I always thought that self driving cars would make commutes longer and there is probably a temptation to let the car circle around cities while you do something if there is no parking.

> In this case I'd say the right move is to just not buy the connected device at all. It should be cheaper and not lack any features you want anyway.

I just renovated my whole kitchen, and all the appliances that had the features I wanted also had wifi connectivity. I basically had no choice but to buy them with it, other than giving up other features. I haven't, however, allowed any of them to connect to my wifi.
But that's still not personal data.
> configuring it to run only during a low electric rate period (nights)

My dishwasher has a start delay function, basically the same... although if it's 'smart' I guess you could align it with things like a smart grid, highly variable rates, solar panels and battery. But that's something for the 1%.

Filters is a double-edged sword, because since it's a consumable, it's in the manufacturer's interest to give false positives for the need to replace filters, like printer ink.

Detergent reservoir levels, I don't know if that's a thing, mine has a reservoir for salt, but I have to put a detergent tablet in myself for every cycle. Would be convenient if it was built in, I guess.
I'd like something like this, but that uses the Pi Compute Module 4, and doesn't cost quite so much (bonus points if it can shave off half the height... the thing looks straight out of the 90s!).
"just estimates" no, I don't buy this.

Unless you're actually looking for sub-minute precision on its timing, the cycle time is pretty fixed. Dishwashers don't care about load or dirtyness, they care about the program you select.

Too much user lazyness and machine automatism make things go sideways.

Also, machines that let you open the door while it's running might result in more confusion than anything else (is the cycle just started or it is actually ending?).
Check out Spectre. Decent enough screens, come in lots of sizes, all entirely dumb panels. Love mine and wouldn't trade it for any 'smart' TV.
I could be wrong, but I think Publii is the only SSG that doesn't work from the command line and is specifically targeted at end users.
My dishwasher is from 1992. It's from the era of packet radio and pre-dates WiFi. I can't imagine using some smart phone app to manage a dishwasher.
I've used Miele appliances for 3 decades now. Somehow, until recently, they managed to provide excellent quality and durability without spying on their users and releasing half baked firmwares in need of updates.
I feel there are design patterns that smart appliances could use that would make them usable, sane, understandable, perhaps even beloved by their owners.

I don't think any major appliance manufacturer has done any serious amount of work to figure out what those patterns are, or how they might apply them. They just want to add software so they can extract additional values from their customers by collecting data to sell.
Can't wait for the dishwashers to start requiring annual fees so that the software keeps working just like MS Office suite. You know it's coming - thats would be a terrible existence.
It also means they could be the one who purchases it!
Driverless cars might not lead to a reduction in car use but they probably will lead to a reduction in the number of cars. Rather than people owning a car they'll request one via an app, it'll turn up and drive them where they want to be, and then it'll go off to the next customer. Car utilization will go up significantly. It'll be like all cars are taxis. That will probably mean more car journeys.

But...

The manufacturing of a car is responsible for a very significant amount of the emissions it produces over its life. If we can greatly reduce the number of cars then there'll be a huge reduction in emissions simply because we won't make as many of them. That's always going to be a massive win for the environment, even if each individual car is being used more.
Especially for vehicles this is becoming increasingly harder.[1][2][3]

Unless you are working for a charity or in a field like healthcare with direct patient care, buying into the vision of a company that you yourself do not actually own is one of the stupidest and most naive things you can do.

The more you treat it like an exchange of your time and skills for money, the better you will be. Otherwise, people will ruthlessly exploit you and then leave you out to dry at the whenever is good for them.

Ask yourself, how likely is the startup owner to conscientiously think about your needs if for example you end up with a sick family member and need to take extended time off to take care of them? Will they try their best to “go above and beyond” and support you in this trying time financially? Will they care that you have been conscientious, or will they be thinking how much money they are wasting on you and looking to get rid of you as soon as the opportunity presents itself.
Stray dish? Put them in later when you find them. Or in the sink. I've never ever lost any sleep over this one. Somebody doesn't bring their dishes back from whereever - I'm not going to hunt for them.
That’s not what they’re suggesting, and even if it was, you’re probably wrong about how clearly-bad that would be.
The promise of a relaxed, comfortable commute to work could even make some people move farther away from their workplaces and accelerate suburban sprawl trends.

Clearly "relax and enjoy" is problematic. Maybe there should be regulations for comfort offsets in vehicles with automation capability. Maybe seats that are unadjustable and too upright, reduced sound damping or reduced audio offerings.

Uncomfortable chairs would become known in the restaurant industry as “15-minute chairs.” Charles Eames’ fiberglass scoop chair (shown above) might be an example, offering little possibility of posture realignment.

Lots of appliances have actual use cases for WiFi. A Fridge for example makes a loud beep if you forgot to close the door and the temperature is too high. But forget the door and leave your house, and you won't hear the beep. A push notification would solve it.

One can argue whether such a feature is actually worth having in a fridge (Added costs, security risks, complexity...)
But at least it has a valid use case: notification.

I just can't imagine a dishwasher having such a use case. Notification for when it's done isn't useful. If I'm not home it makes no difference that it's done, and if I am home it could just beep. Starting it obviously isn't useful either. So what features does wifi offer in a dishwasher? The best I can think of is... Error diagnostics (So I don't have to google "E5" when the flood sensor triggers). But that doesn't seem like enough of a feature to warrant a wifi connection.
Don't worry, I didn't take you too seriously. But seeing as this is HackerNews, IMO half the fun is coming up with solutions to 1st world "problems" ;)

As a Linux user I know RPi pretty well but piezoelectric is something I used to light gas, resistors are something I studied at school (and things that heat), a diode... maybe, but clamping? I won't be able to put those pieces together.

I'd buy a smart plug with a http url to call to turn it on and off and make a web app running on a RPi at home to manage that plug.
presumption of innocence is a legal principle that only applies to criminal court.

so i assume when youre equating the fundamental right to what governments believe, youre talking about specifically presumption of innocence before convicted criminally, and being jailed or executed.

the government does not fundamentally believe in presumption of innocence in civil law. for example, you could sue a bank for losing some of your records it's required to keep. the onus is on the bank (the defendant) to prove they did not lose those records, rather than on the plaintiff to prove that they don't have the records.
