Which doesn't justify a cut of a 30%. I'm not saying they shouldn't charge anything, but this is at usurious levels.

"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."

Both have a history of EU candidacy: Norway withdrew after referenda in 1972 and 1994, while Iceland suspended accession talks in 2015 after applying in 2009. Notably, in 2024, Iceland’s governing Social Democratic Alliance pledged to hold a referendum by 2027 on resuming EU negotiations.
