Replacing a dishwasher. Most of the mid-range options now come with fucking Wi-Fi. Found a model I liked, no info in manual and support from Samsung was of course, useless since it wasn’t already in the manual and wanted to keep talking about their exciting “smart things” app. gag.

I saw a youtube video of a guy disconnecting wifi cable on a fridge. I’m fine doing that if I have to open up the board but it’ll probably be smaller than the fridge and who knows if it’ll be helpfully labled like the one in the video was. Internet searching showed me there may be oven keypress combinations to turn wi-fi radio on/off. Anyone have anything similar/advice for Samsung appliances, specifically dishwashers?

"Am I wrong?

No, it is everyone else who is wrong."

You’re the meme. No router has ever required it. Yes, it’s an option. But how do you think open networks exist? Do you think that magically the router will know it’s in a residence and suddenly require a password?

How do you explain the 30 million+ open networks on Wigle? https://wigle.net/stats

Whiteknighting a dishwasher is so cool

Show me where I said anything about a dishwasher. Or defended it in any way. Are you just pissed that you were wrong? That’s pretty pathetic.

That’s a cool website. I liked the wifi networks over time graph.
