Can’t wait to find out how this upgrade enhances my dishwasher’s performance.

@someone_else @dan I have not seen this discussed often, but parceling out software even for a one-time feature enabling move has become a way to circumnavigate tariffs. Ship and invoice hardware at cost or even lower, enable functionality after arrival for a price that does not appear on import documents. Very useful, if not necessary for continuing to outsource production to cheap labor or dropship stuff altogether.
The shitty incentives of the current economic system abound.
@jakob @someone_else @dan cool, let's just export cars with an empty fuel tank, if it's that easy

At least it’s not adding new AI features, I guess…

It's just downloading the latest songs to whistle while doing the dishes. -

@dan I bought a new washing machine last week. The retailer had a fine selection, including "Samsung Bespoke AI Series 9 WiFi-enabled" machines for twice as much... Or more.

- "My dishwasher is on the internet!"
- "Why is on the internet?"
- "To download software updates!"
- "Why does it need software updates?"
- "To fix security vulnerabilities!"
- "Why would it have security vulnerabilities?"
- "Because it's on the internet!"@someone_else
Oh no my machine got hacked and hackers shrunk my wool sweater down to the size of a mitten!
