  • Have you actually thought about the first point in your second list, the door? Imagine the machine is running and actually full of water, and turning it off releases the door. Would that really make you happy?

    That said, your other points in that category are fair, and honestly incredibly weird. I never had a washer do any of that, but I assume it’s to stop your clothes from wrinkling. Are you sure that can’t be turned off?








  • Yes of course 178° is a lie and marketing B’s, just like “1 ms response time”. Keeping in mind that 180° is the theoretical limit of that number, as you would view it from behind if you’re above it. They are saying “you can see something if you view it from that angle”, not “the colors are unchanged at that angle”. Again, marketing. There is no regulation or “official” definition on what the technical spec “viewing angle” means for a monitor, so it’s whatever the marketing department decides it means.









  • Like Randelung said, that would be true if you couldn’t reset you password via email. But as long as that’s possible the email can’t ever be the 2nd factor because it can be used to (re)set the 1st one.

    A safer definition of what the 2 factors should be is “something you know” and “something you own”. The “know” is usually a password (which you can remember, but you should use a password manager these days so you can have a different password for every service). The “own” is typically a phone these days (generating a timed code, for example). But it doesn’t have to be, it can be a physically USB dongle or your fingerprint. The idea is that it’s something that can’t be overheard, or recorded via key logger or or even told to someone.

    Steam does this better (as in safer) than most.
