You know, this particular dishwasher was at the time the recommended pick of multiple review outlets; and nowhere did any of them mention, nor did any of the pre-available marketing material or anything my partner could find online, the fact that running just the rinse cycle or the self-clean function required an app to make it work

Shit, it wasn’t even connected to the internet until my partner was trying to figure out how to do just a rinse cycle. She’s very sensitive to smells and apparently some of the dishes one time didn’t come out smelling quite as clean as normal. Thus, the damned thing went on the guest network

If we had a review culture that cared about these things, if we had a functioning regulatory body to bring criminal charges against companies like BrightData, or to penalize companies for malfunctions that cause damage, perhaps this wouldn’t have happened. I want to go to there

But that’s not our world, and I do not tolerate people who call the women in my life “stupid” because they’re not paranoid about technology. Women have enough to worry about. So you can fuck right off with that attitude.
