  • We had a washing machine that “failed”. All that was wrong was the relays/water intake valves stopped recieving a signal. Ended up spending a week and an old raspberry pi making a stupid replacement controller because the washer was still sending signals, they just werent making it to the relays for some reason. i still can’t tell what part of the original boards failed. also i only programmed one cycle and it no longer senses fill rate D= but it does wash clothes reliably assuming the water pressure (and hence fill rate) is relatively stable.


  • Linus and Luke from LTT were talking about this the other day, how you can spend like 20-30 grand on a sub-zero or some other fancy brand fridge, and it will last 50 years like appliances used to. But when you sell your house eventually it will add NO value, the buyer is just going to see “great, the house comes with a fridge like it’s supposed to”. So unless you plan to take the fridge with you from house to house and go through the trouble of replacing it with something normal when you do then the economics just don’t work for most people anymore.
