  1. Ha! We have a Ring camera in the car and it made us name the camera so we called it my pants so now whenever it detects motion at the car I get a notification on my phone that says “there is motion in my pants” and it makes me laugh everytime, lol

  2. Appliances with WiFi are extremely dangerous for cyber security.

    Manufacturers often skip on security to save costs, making them extremely vulnerable for spoofing attacks specially. If an attacker where to spoof the connection point from the machine to your WiFi, then they can run inside your network with privileges.

  3. Well who’s rinsing him off? …because I’m certainly not!

  4. Ok, given the extra cost, complexity and things to go wrong… can anyone give me a good reason for a dishwasher to have WiFi?

  5. I called mine Kitchen Wench. Makes me feel like living in ye olde times, it notifies me saying Kitchen Wench is out of Rinse Aid

  6. We named our washing machine “second wife”. Yet to get a dishwasher fancy enough to be app controlled but honestly probably would name it “first wife”, I’m happy to give up my position as long as something else does the dishes. Hehe

  7. My brain went straight to Rinse Wind, but that’s because my brain spends about 50% of its time in the Discworld

  8. I would have called it Haans.

    As in “Haans that does dishes” as for some reason that fairy liquid songs in my head worming away 😀

  9. My washing machine is called Bert and the dryer is Frank. Fills my heart with a little bit of joy everytime I see it.

  10. This is genius 😂I’ve just ordered a Philips robot vac/mop. Can you think of a good name? I’m rubbish at stuff like this!

  11. I named mine George Washing’s-on.

    Also, smart machines are a nightmare, I couldn’t machine wash my dishes for a couple of days when my WiFi packed in. Give me a dumb machine any day.
