I just had to confirm to my washing machine that I'm over 18

[ben@mastodon.lubar.me]

@foone how did you confirm this to a washing machine

[nicoduck@chaos.social]

@foone wtf, why oO

[ruenahcmohr@infosec.exchange]

@foone it should have known.

@foone this is the future liberals want for literally no reason

[yakmacker@society.kalli.st]

@foone I've been pretty protected from this BS due to being poor, but I'm gonna buy a new car soon so I'm sure it will start asking me for my ad preferences.

[letoram@infosec.exchange]

@foone did you ask it to confirm that it is a washing machine? who captain kangaroo's sidekick was? did ctrl-alt-x work during the title screen?

@foone

This is why all my kitchen appliances are electromechanical - and I intend to keep them that way.

@foone@digipres.club Before the 2020s, teens would just use washing machines totally unsupervised! And no one batted an eye! Barbaric, I say.

@foone "Tide pod: friend or food?"

[foone@digipres.club]

this was to connect to my our washing machine, which came with a card advising us to connect to the wifi features, and the manual told us to connect to the wifi features. I told the app which model we had, it told me which button to press to connect to the wifi, and after trying that for 5 minutes I go and check the store page...

this model doesn't have wifi

@foone@digipres.club oh no, did you have to fax a copy of your drivers license?

[netzblockierer@tech.lgbt]

@foone WTF!?

Also: When did people start accepting this Enshittification?

Seriously, if this would have happened to me, I would've demanded a refund, @geerlingguy …

A washing mashine doesn't need to haemve fucking #WiFi!!!

[burstaholic@infosec.exchange]

@foone is this one you have to buy an extra attachment for that? Ours is like that, will probably never buy it

[foone@digipres.club]

@Burstaholic nope. apparently it just doesn't have wifi and it can't be added

[sed@furry.engineer]

@foone please do not the washing machine

[foone@digipres.club]

@sed you're not my dad, you can't tell me what to do

[kkarhan@mastodon.social]

@foone dafuq!?

Why would.anyone do that??

[elettrona@poliversity.it]

@foone @mastodonmigration the washing machine contains lots of sexually explicit material. Underwear, with everything on them LOL

[argv_minus_one@mastodon.sdf.org]

@foone

It wants to know if you're over 18? What the heck is it even going to do with that information?

[frobozz@tty0.social]

@elettrona @foone @mastodonmigration The tales my washing machine could tell . . . very glad it can't connect to anything except 120V AC and a water pipe.
