Replacing a dishwasher. Most of the mid-range options now come with fucking Wi-Fi. Found a model I liked, no info in manual and support from Samsung was of course, useless since it wasn’t already in the manual and wanted to keep talking about their exciting “smart things” app. gag.

I saw a youtube video of a guy disconnecting wifi cable on a fridge. I’m fine doing that if I have to open up the board but it’ll probably be smaller than the fridge and who knows if it’ll be helpfully labled like the one in the video was. Internet searching showed me there may be oven keypress combinations to turn wi-fi radio on/off. Anyone have anything similar/advice for Samsung appliances, specifically dishwashers?

    This shows so much privilege. Apartments, townhomes, condominiums. Sometimes you’re scrolling through pages of Wi-Fi networks from your neighbors looking for your own SSID right next to the device.

    Yeah, you can’t do shit about open Wi-Fi networks near you and promiscuous devices.

      I rent and basically live paycheck to paycheck, so ya, I know about all the SSIDs, but why do I care what my dishwasher is doing if it’s not connected to any of my other devices? Even if I logged into it like a dumbass what could it sense besides my dirty dishes and how often I clean them.
