Have you ever notice how there's always more and more #computer in the #technouogy things surrounding us, but many of them utterly fail at being actually calculation machines? My favourite among all of these is when you want set your #dishwasher or #washingmachine to finish or start at a certain time. Some of the damn things even connect to the internet, but they can't figure out when to start if you want your washing to be done before 7 so you can put in the dryer before you leave for work

Holy hell I almost want this ... 1980s? dishwasher on _principle_. LOOK at this thing. It's PRISTINE.

I find it quite uhm, let's say "interesting", how #engineers that are capable of developing and building #ridiculously #complex machines at the same time are completely #unable to properly put ONE mug into an empty #dishwasher.

Installed my new #Bosch #dishwasher tonight. Let's hope its more reliable than the #Samsung I bought three years ago and has been repaired six times.

#Today is a good day to #clean your #dishwasher #filter.

Our preferred #dishwasher detergent pods aren't available, so I'm looking for #recommendations for something that minimizes waste - trying to minimize plastics, landfill bound packaging, #microplastics, single use wrappers, and scents. We cook a lot and run the dishwasher 4+ times a week, it adds up, and have been using portioned pod-things for convenience, which is fine but just feels bougie and only adds a slight convenience.

Replacement Option A is basic Cascade powder in a cardboard box.

Replacement Option B is, at the suggestion from a r/zerowaste commenter, chasing down bulk powder detergent from a catering/restaurant supply company or similar.

#CambridgeNaturals in nearby #CambridgeMA offers Seventh Generation gel in a plastic bottle, and Blueland tablets listed on their web store.

However, in my search I learned that the #NorthEnd has a new-to-me #ZeroWaste shop called #Uvida, which has a bunch of #ecofriendly refill/#sustainable options in #Boston - and they have a powdered detergent in a brand I've not seen before, #RusticStrength: https://www.uvidashop.com/pages/automatic-dishwasher-powder-unscented-ingredients

I'll update if I find something I can offer as a #recommendation
