   My old GE dishwasher broke (completely dead, tried many ways to reset, was dying for months though...).

   Bought a new Bosch 500 (highest not-zillion-dollar model I could get over weekend).

   Installed, went to mess with some settings, then saw:

   "this setting requires the HomeConnect app"

   Oh. Okay, so like Bluetooth or NFC or something?

   Nope. They want me to connect my _dishwasher_ to WiFi to configure a number of settings on it! Ugh. No way, no how.
