That's super interesting! I currently live in Norway, but I used to live in Lithuania, and for both countries I can say that it's common for dishwashers and washing machines to heat their own water. It's interesting to see how different countries have solved the "get hot water" problem for appliances.
That could be what happened, but at a factory. I've noticed that a lot of them have similar graphics, so it might be a preset added in by the manufacturer.
Ours is front loading, and I'm sometimes scared to take a dump in the same room when the thing is spinning full speed, as the dryer on top of it bounces and shakes aggressively, most likely due to the lack of auto balancing. I guess I didn't think of the inefficiencies there
I wouldn't say it uses an unreasonable amount of power to run. I may be wrong, but a water heater and some pumps can't be more efficient other than insulation so it wouldn't waste power to heat the surrounding air.
I sort of get it though. Who in their right mind would actually try to buy the cheeseburger bread. Just the bread, without any of the cheeseburgery parts.
That's how these bugs features get overlooked.
If I recall correctly, there was a bug in the McDonald's order screens that allowed one to remove almost everything from a burger, and get enough negative money to buy another burger with it.
Also now that I think of it, has anyone played bad apple on one of those?
