    Sure, and if I’m off by a few minutes, that’s totally fine. I honestly don’t need to know the moment my clothes are done, it can wait 20-30 minutes usually. In general, a laundry run takes an hour, plus whatever soak time I choose.

    So I really don’t need any network access. I guess it’s fine if others want it, but I see it as a liability. If it connects to a network, that’s a security vulnerability (don’t want a laundry DOS) and another thing to break. Ideally, every model could optionally ship without it.
