Does this mean we'll see less smart products on the shelves? Which would be a good thing if products weren't made of cheese

I've been tempted to give this a try myself. I recently had to buy a new dishwasher because the previous one's pump died. Bought what I thought was a decent enough replacement, but it wasn't until I installed it that I realised half the functions on it can only be done via an app, the main annoyance being setting a scheduled start time. And it's not even a first party app from Beko - it's some god awful dog **** made by a contractor for their parent company. It's slow as hell, half the time it doesn't save settings, and to make it worse you actually have to press a 'remote control' button on the dishwasher for the app to talk to it, so what's the ******* point!?

I'd build my own bloody app to control it without half of that bs.

And in a few years the app will no longer be supported and when you update your phone the old app won't work. So you'll need to throw away a completely working dishwasher and buy a new one.

Not actually reverse engineered anything yet but have been looking to use Claude to help upgrade an old electronic drum kit.

Haven't Claude blocked this? Probably see if a local model can do it, if not I reckon within the year there'll be something you can get locally which can do all this.

Yes but if you know what you're doing you can work around it, otherwise just Deepseek or other Chinese model without safety locks or run Qwen local as I posted earlier

This is the road to hell.

No, that runs from just south of Denbigh centre to Llyn Brenig, awesome 7 mile segment.

I'd love to REA the Tado app so that it works with non-Tado TRVs.
