"I went to run a rinse cycle, only to find that that, along with features like delayed start and eco mode, require an app.

Not only that, to use the app, you have to connect your dishwasher to WiFi, set up a cloud account in something called Home Connect, and then, and only then, can you start using all the features on the dishwasher."

Okay, I understand your concern, but hear me out: your dishes can be extra-rinsed AND you can passively participate in DDOSs! You're practically a hacker! With very clean dishes!

Let me know if you need help looking for the dumbest upside of other legitimate concerns!
