These are the kinds of posts we need a DONT LIKE button for.
Hate dishwashers. To get them to clean right, you have to all but clean the dishes before you pack them in. Might as well just finish the job and be done with it.
The building I work in has sensor based lighting even. One of the most annoying things I have ever dealt with. Invariably the light will not come or, or it comes on (on a timer of course), and if you dont move around enough, invariably will shut off right in the middle of some critical task. And some rooms dont even have manual override.Sensor based *EVERYTHING* in bathrooms. It never fails that a toilet flushes 83 times giving you Poseidon's kiss every 4 seconds and when you go to wash your hands the water and soap dispenser just stare at you in total disbelief and ignore any movement or motion you make. Then once you've finally managed to find the perfect angle of entry to turn on the sink water you go to wave your hands at the towel dispenser that feeds out sad strip of paper that is like 3" long and takes you 3 different attempts to get enough to actually dry your hands.
Auto-locking car doors. I love having to hit unlock every time we all need to get out of the van (not)!
The bullshit first 15 minutes of a BluRay that you can't fast forward through like the dumb ass FBI warning made even more bullshit since in the day of digital piracy I am obviously watching something that was paid for so don't make my experience fucking worse because I did assholes. Whoever invented or thought up that shit I'd love to find their grave/s so I can piss on it.
I hate that too. I've actually been locked out of my car while it was running because of that. Open door to start car but don't get inside, grab snow brush to brush off car, close door. Car thinks I'm in driver seat. Doors lock. The odd thing is, it does not ALWAYS do it, it's random. I typically just use auto start now and keep the keys on me until I actually go inside.
i feel this is going to take a few more sessions to explore
You should be able to press STOP STOP and PLAY and it will skip to the movie.

Btw, although not technically a piece of technology, I have even more hate for daylight savings time and its inventors.
Agreed as long as we all shift forward one hour.

My Explorer unlocks all the doors when I turn off the ignition, the autolock doesn't engage until the car is actually moving and with the exterior keypad you can't lock yourself out unless you don't know your pin.Weird, my truck will unlock the drivers side door no matter what I do if I open it while the keys are in the ignition. I have the keypad on the outside to unlock the doors so I have tried, also the autolock doesn't happen until I step on the brake or maybe it's when I put it in drive and then step on the brake. Maybe it's a Canuckistan thing?
Windows 10.
Because a hacker is going use your IoT appliances as 24/7 spamming/DoS terminals.
I must assume you're single...I could see this mentality for a single person (maybe) but if you have a decent sized family - hell no. There have been a couple of times when the dishwasher has been on the blink and taking 15 minutes to wash the nightly dishes - just no.dishwashers
i had one for a few months once in an apartment, but why? i can just wash the dishes by hand faster than a dishwasher, and i do a better job
Heh so one of our clients had a facility dept that replaced all their power strips with completely motion sensored ones. Caused a bit of a ruckus because a lot of people working at desks didn't move enough to trigger those sensors. All of a sudden *poof* desktop and monitors would shut off in the middle of whatever they were working on. Now they have ones with like 2 non-sensored plugs so you have to be careful where you plug in things that need to stay on. I'd be interested to know what the break even point is for their electrical savings vs two bulk orders of power strips
Oh if that works thats awesome! Look at ATOT - solving actual problems!
