[–] Gork@lemm.ee 10 points 3 years ago (1 child) The cost of the laundry subscription is likely to vastly out cost the energy savings it may provide. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mayo@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Ya it's a shit idea to go subscription in any situation. You really do not need any kind of ongoing updates/subscription unless the product was built around a subscription model. If it can done mechanically on basic programmable outlets then it can be coded the same way. I would be fine buying a laundry machine, asking my utilities provider what time to run it, and then programming that into the machine manually. permalink fedilink source parent
