If it was just detergent DRM, I'd probably agree with you.

Same. But capitalism's driving force, profit above all, is simply going to consume everything in the end.
Growth above all else is in many ways humanities driving force.

So which parts are bad enough that you’d prefer medieval serfdom?

#25Not gonna like, this dishwasher looks ridiculously ineffective even without DRM.

Non-joke answer: DRM wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Steam Engine. That argument is central to anarcho-primitivism - industrial society will enslave people more and more through technology, and there is no way to prevent it, therefore industrial revolution is a mistake.

#27I see the point of that dishwasher for someone who doesn't have easy access to a sink like a student in a dorm, but I can't fathom why you'd put one in a house or apartment. With such a tiny capacity you're better off hand washing.
Bob- and apartment-owner here. We have a small kitchen and just don't have the space for a full-sized dishwasher. Bob fits snugly in the cabinet under the sink and runs once a day for a 2-person household.
It's perfect for our needs and saves us a lot of both time and water.

Nor would you, in all probability.

#30Interesting how there are still many internet connected products that don't have subscription fees and don't (as far as I can tell) track and sell my info. Some stuff from my home: Lutron Caseta lights, Bali motorized blinds, Secure360 outdoor security lights, MyQ garage opener, simplisafe entry sensors, cameras, and door lock (assuming you don't pay for the monitoring service). LG thinq products also (fridge, oven, dishwasher, washer/dryer) minus LG tvs (which I believe sell my info/deliver ads). Most of these products are something a household would buy once in many years (if ever a second time). So what's the business model here? High up front cost to subsidize the service for X number of years? There has to be some point where they are losing money on old customers.
