Top notch content. Right up there with his popcorn button on the microwave video.

[–] fogstormberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

oh that was a good one. I should go back and rewatch it

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago

The only video I ever watched from that guy and I know exactly who he is immediately just from that video being mentioned. I should watch more of his stuff i suppose.

And the reheat button on microwave

I’m still mad that I have a shitty microwave now

He will always be known to me as the toaster guy that taught me how to make a quick $100

Awesome, I was looking for something to wind down with after today's shitty ass day at work.

I love Lemmy's love for Technology Connections. It just feels so right!

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (2 children)

It's like crack for ADHD as he goes in-depth, down many of the rabbit holes other informational shows gloss over, if they would even cover the subject to begin with.

NOTE: do not follow any of the tips without checking your own dishwashers manual and testing its cycles. I found that my 1.5hr cycle cleaned better than the 2.5hr, during the 1.5 it instantly releases the detergent so I can just dump it anywhere, and that the difference in cost between the cheapest powder and tablets (locally) was negligible (thanks Aldi!).

PRO TIP: get the tablets that have a water soluble wrapper and feel like you're living in the future.

[–] Matumb0@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I actually had to buy a new dishwasher and in Germany every dishwasher has to be set to economical cleaning mode as default. That being said there is also a fast mode, but you have to use special tabs that dissolve fast enough. Otherwise they will not dissolve fully during the washing stage and then the stuff would be stuck in the dishwasher after drying and it might seriously reduce lifetime of seals etc. So be careful with short washing programs on modern dishwashers!

Speaking of Technology Connections; if anyone missed the recent Popular Science video on the RCA SelectaVision, Alec pops up to give a quick primer on the tech.

I actually watched this video and decided to clean the filter. Pretty gnarly.

[–] computerscientistII@lemm.ee 0 points 5 months ago

And in Germany we don't have those without filters.

On the other hand, we have 230V and our dish washers's sump only have half the sump size at most, they heat up the water in no time, even if it's cold to start with. So we've got that going for us which is nice.

[–] cactusupyourbutt@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

the fact that I watched this clearly indicates that I am getting old lol

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 0 points 5 months ago

Not what I was expecting, totally worth the watch lol.

[–] takeheart@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

After watching the original video I started putting some additional powder at the bottom of the loading tray every wash and it works great. Clean dishes ever since, no pre rinse necessary. Can recommend 👍.

As someone who's worked on industrial machinery for food production all my life, I'm consistently amazed at what a simple dishwasher can do, and how it can do so for YEARS with essentially zero maintenance. Cleaning food residue is HARD.
I just bought a new one recently (the old one wasn't actually broken, despite being very old, so I gave it away), and I can't help but open it up every once in a while to admire it. How much time these devices save us!

[–] czardestructo@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (14 children)

Depends on your luck. I've had to repair my Samsung dishwasher 3 times in 5 years and yet my parents bought the cheapest possible model 15 years ago and it operates lawlessly and does a better job at cleaning.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 0 points 5 months ago

operates lawlessly

as long as it doesn't get caught!

Jokes aside, I've only ever owned European-made appliances. My old dishwasher was a Bosch that came with the apartment when we bought it, I don't know how old it was, but I guess around 20 years, and again, I replaced but it was still working.
I don't buy appliances at big box stores though, I always go to a dedicated shop where they kinda select their offerings, as they also have to deal with support calls. There's one in my city that, despite being a fraction of a big box store, moves A LOT of merchandise, so they also have a lot of experience, so far I've been quite happy.
