I agree with everyone here. What was the question again? My gripe is the complexity of things. Why do fridges have to have internet connectivity? Car's with touchscreen interface and internet connectivity? And my washing machine for instance. It was acting unsuitably not filling and giving an error code. Emailing the mfg. I was instructed to see if the water pressure sensor had a bad hose or disconnected somehow. No & no, but I removed it and couldn't get continuity on two of the tiny terminals I saw a Youtube how to for. Curious I opened it up and saw it had an IC chip in there on a little board with other mini components. Here was a plastic part that cost more to ship than it's cost.
The machine works now. But everything must have IC chips in them these days. They're not repairable, just replaceable. And hopefully not a major part like a control module or something with major markup by distributors. Components and washing machines of old were much simpler and reliable.
Too bad it doesn't have internet connectivity, they could of diagnosed and sent the part to me at 10 times the cost of the part. Future smart models probably online soon.
