As I said, I didn't know. I bought the exact same model that I bought the year before that didn't need an app. I considered returning it but I have kids and dishes to do. I spent hours installing it only to find it wanted an app when I went to use it the first time.
New dishwashers are all slow because of energy/water savings. When I need dishes done fast I use the 60 minute setting that runs everything at full blast.
But as I already explained, that's not true. They gave you the illusion of value add by removing features. Look at your exact model, built in, from 3 years ago. It has buttons for half load, delay and delicate. It's easier to push a button than find your phone and start the app. If your Internet is temporarily down, you don't have those features.
If the app was used for additional features, I'd agree. But they removed features to give the illusion of value add.
As the video explains, if it was optional to add features, that's fine. But you can't access basic features like "rinse only" without connecting your dishwasher to their cloud service.
It's offensive. I got a Bosch last year because my other Bosch is good. I saw the cloud requirements and got enraged too. I should have sent it back. But I had the higher end version that has the time screen and put only the more obscure features behind their cloud revenue extraction.
Has anyone got these working in emulators? Apparently some have been converted to work in emulators but I haven't been able to actually find them. The Internet archive link doesn't work.
Given that he predicts 6 new elements (3 lighter than hydrogen and 3 heavier than hydrogen before getting to helium), he's a looney just like his math.
Yay! I get to repost my comment about Disco Season 5 that got me banned from Ten Forward:
Regarding how the writers failed with their Spore Drive conclusion in Season 5:
The idea of the lone inventor wasn't even true a hundred years ago. When I took a history of technology class at University over 30 years ago, that fact was driven into us. All discoveries are the result of researchers standing on the shoulders of giants. Destroying all Spore drive research is meaningless because there are hundreds of billions of people spread across thousands of planets. The Federation isn't even the entire Alpha quadrant so there are hundreds of billions of other people with no restrictions. So someone else is going to almost immediately re discover spore drive because the technology and knowledge base for its discovery are built into society.
I hope the above opinion doesn't get me banned here too.
But that's why thermostats have a range and turn on/off cool/heat as needed?
If you were gone for a day with everything off then it would make sense to not overshoot. But when you are home it's not like it goes from 30-60F instantly outside. As the outside gradually changes, so does the amount of heat or cooling on the inside.
I'm not sure it would be different enough to matter. Otherwise diseases like the bubonic plague wouldn't be consistent throughout the past thousand years.
