Re: Pretty soon, you won't be able to turn them off

Our several years old washing machine came with some form of remote connection capability, I have now forgotten exactly what capability it had. However seen it was seen as totally irrelevant and as WiFi coverage to its area was poor there was less than no point in trying to make the connection. Kit may come with largely pointless or useless connection capability, but it does usually need some (unwise?) interaction to activate the function.
