@lyncia (January 🍂) our parents recently got an internet-connected dishwasher
They tried to argue that it's useful bc now they get notifications on their phone when it's done washing, and can start it wherever they are
But... you can't load it or empty it from your work, even if you get a notification, so what's the point? If you're there to load it, you can just,,, start it right there??? It's all completely unnecessary
