Yeah I don’t need Bluetooth in my toothbrush either.

$1000 vacuum? I rather live in filth
Tbh, I like the shark rocket vac
HelixDab2@lemm.ee 1 year ago
I have an earlier version of this (got it on sale from Costco, and it was the highest-rated model by Consumer Reports at the time); I love it. It’s not great for carpets, but it’s fast and easy for hardwood floors.
Would I have bought it if it needed to connect to my cell phone? Absofuckinglutely not. Not in a million fucking years. It could have been the best goddamn vacuum in the world at sucking, powered by a miniature black hole, sucking dirt to the event horizon, and I still would have passed.
I need LESS connectivity in my life, not more.

Great, can it make my wife come back too

Do you know how I can tell when I have an incoming call or message? My phone, which is in my pocket, makes a noise and vibrates. Why the absolute hell would I want my vacuum cleaner to notify me of a call?
And the washer too? Do they seriously think people just sit around at home taking calls every 5 minutes that they need every appliance to be able to make/take phonecalls?

Pass. Let me know when it has AI and can plagiarize an essay for me, that’s what I actually use my vacuum cleaner for.

This seems really useless

FML. This reminds me I just got trn to built for reading Usenet. I’m reverting.

Why?
Dropper_Post@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Why it doesnt have camera for video calls?
werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 year ago
That’s nothing! My reusable digital toilette paper let’s me zoom and teams into important work meetings. It even includes a 3D digital camera and digital texturizer so you can feel the other side.

Just what we need, at a time when it’ll do the most good! /s

Even better:
Even better, if you’re doing the wash and left your phone in the other room, Samsung’s added touchscreens to its washers and dryers, including the new Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo washer / dryer ($3,099). This lets you answer a call directly on the built-in 7-inch LCD screen.
You can take calls with your clothes dryer!
garretble@lemmy.world 1 year ago
“Hello?”
“Hey Dave…wait what’s that noise?”
“Oh that’s my washer and dryer going.”
“Can you move to the other room? I can’t hear you very well.”
“No, the call is on my washer.”
“WHAT?”
AA5B@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I have taken calls while loading my dryer, and it’s fucking stupid to not wait. I took advantage of advanced technology called a “pocket” to carry my “mobile” device

Sounds like The Perfect Product!

There is no world in which the barely marginal convenience outweighs the additional cost (and near certain privacy invasion of a microphone equipped dryer).
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
not to mention, why would you even want to start a conversation that could run on indefinitely and keep you hostage in your laundry room. nothing about this makes sense if you think about it for 5 seconds.

Some poor engineer probably had a crisis when they realised they where wasting their life implementing shit this stupid.
ascense@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Given it’s samsung, I doubt they have the time to have a crisis. Work hours for Korean tech companies can be quite insane, e.g. koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/…/2063906
TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 year ago
Why the fuck would someone spend a grand on a vacuum that does all that extra stupid shit?
A vacuum just needs to suck.
donuts@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, so now it sucks more. Isn’t that good?
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
there is a point where something sucks so much it blows.
rice@lemmy.org 1 year ago
So you can send your text messages and calls to samsung’s servers even if you don’t use their phone. You don’t like this feature? (lol)
Weirdmusic@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m so glad you posted that. Otherwise I would have had to
CaptnNMorgan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Reddit has great information on vacuum’s. The community has curated lists ranging in prices, and education surrounding the subject. According to them, you don’t want to go bagless.
brot@feddit.org 1 year ago
It totally makes sense - the dirt has to go somewhere and a cheap bag which you can take out and throw away sounds better than a tiny compartement that you have to shake out spreading the dirt everywhere
