      Because Samsung likes knowing when the wash is done from across the world.

      Okay Mr. Moneybags, with a house so big you can’t just hear the ding from the other end.

      (I’m just kidding; even in my small house it’s possible to miss it when the laundry closet door is closed.)

      To add to it, I like to know water and electricity usage stats from my dishwasher, it’s semi interesting. But generally I use the buttons on the thing.

      Washing machine is easier to use via the app because it’s stupid in on device controls

        I’d like to know water and electricity usage too, but frankly, I’d rather have a separate smart flow meter and current sensor.

        So you are telling me it is enshittified to the point it’s unusable without the app that collects and sells all you data?

      Oh, we know, because the thing shrieks until we open it. I can hear my neighbor’s washing machine beeping, they’re so loud here.
