Reported that the dishwasher was unavailable until the firmware update was completed.

In recent years, many IoT home appliances have appeared, and people can use various functions through the Internet. However, there seems to be a disadvantage due to being an IoT home appliance, and the complaint posted on SNS that 'the dishwasher requested a firmware update via Wi-Fi and stopped working until it was completed' attracted attention. I'm collecting.

Twitter user @isislovecruft tweeted on January 31, 2022, with a photo saying , 'My dishwasher won't work until I update the firmware via Wi-Fi.' If you look at the attached photo, you can see that the electronic panel of the dishwasher says 'Software update'.

The dishwasher didn't work until the firmware update was completed.

@isislovecruft complained that it was a dishwasher made by German-based home appliance maker Miele. @isislovecruft says he's very happy with the dishwasher, but he said he was surprised at the situation.

yes! it's actually a fantastic dishwasher and i love it, so i was a bit surprised by the falling into the overworked trope of “robot won't do X for you until firmware is updated; cannot possibly parallelise these requests”

In response to this tweet, 'That's why I only buy old-fashioned home appliances. I don't want to connect a refrigerator, microwave, or coffee maker to my Wi-Fi.'

This is why I like buying dumb appliances. I don't want my fridge, microwave or coffee maker to connect to my wifi. If they do, that's not the product for me.

Also, one user reported that if he thought his dishwasher wouldn't work, he would see 'Sabbath ' on the screen. In fact, strict Jews cannot operate electrical appliances on the Sabbath, so some home appliances are equipped with a 'Sabbath mode'.

The irony of @ isislovecruft's 'we've let nerds go too far' is that 'this monster wasn't created by nerds, but by marketing zombies.' I'm a project manager. '

It's not the nerds, it's the marketing zombies and PMs who created this monstrosity

This tweet has also been talked about on the social news site Hacker News, 'Does the dishwasher really need a Wi-Fi connection?' 'I've been using Mille appliances for 30 years. For some reason, until recently, Mille was able to provide superior quality and durability without spying on users or releasing firmware that needed to be updated. '

Looks like a Miele. That menu can be exited (the image where it says 'Software U ... | Hacker News'
