I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Potentially more serious than that. A poorly protected washing machine (or any other IOT device) can serve as an attack vector into your local network.

      You’re not wrong, but why the hell does a washing machine need to be Internet connected in the first place?

      And since the first answer is always “So it can tell me when the cycle is done,” set a frickin timer if it’s that big of a deal.
