i think it would be cool to have some kind of home status display that's just like LEDs or those flip indicators to show the status of various things

I just set a phone timer for the estimated time remaining which is functionally identical to a notification anyway

apple has an accessibility feature where it can discern different sounds (like your washer finishing) and notify you. not sure if that would go between devices though. my washer is particularly bad at estimating how long it will take so I'm curious about rigging up a sensor for it

I just put my dirty clothes in the washer and put on clean clothes out of the dryer. Once the dryer is empty you start the washer. Maximum efficiency.

I dont know why we don't just buy new clothes in bulk from china every time we need some instead of washing them. Its MUCH more data efficient

Their TVs are famously huge piles of spyware garbage. Nice screens, shame about everything else. I refuse to even tell mine the wifi password.

my friend just had to buy a new fridge because his old LG one stopped working. apparently they used steel pipes for some things when everyone else uses copper, so they rusted, and they also had the amazing idea of encasing everything in foam so they cannot be repaired or replaced.

my lg fridge is a POS. the compressor and ice machine both poo poo the bed within two years of purchase.

i'm pretty sure this is a myth, although the fact that it's so believable is certainly telling
