The appliance that elicits anger and frustrated at it’s mere sight. The treacherous device that never worked right.

    I really don’t get all the shit microwaves and printers get. smart devices especially samsung and xiaomi phones are the worst, from privacy, ownership and control, and maintainability points

    edit: fixed a typo. got a stroke when writing…

        me neither, but they all universally could have a silent mode.
        truth be told, I have a very old microwave with buttons and dials, so mayhaps I didn’t get to experience the shit “modern” microwaves do

      Sounds like you’ve never had to service a printer, their hate is justified

      Same privacy, ownership, and control issues. Had HP remote shut down one of our office printers b/c it detected unauthorized ink. It wasn’t unauthorized ink. They didn’t care. And it is trivial to hack and duplicate any document that ever gets printed or put to glass
