Yeah, I think I live in a dreamworld like in the old show Computer Chronicles when computers were presented by scientists and used by engineers to do actual work. It was easy (for me) to grasp.

Now we have every sector of human activity, including those I consider at best useless, at worst harmful, like endless advertising, merchandising, propagandizing, misinforming, etc boosted exponentially because of essentially free computer power.

Yes, but you still need to get rid of the old one, and arrange delivery of the new one.

I used to repair my washing machine because the parts (GE Filter-Flo) were easily available and a mildly competent chimpanzee can figure it out.

The front loaders need to be disassembled in the order they were built and are full of specific parts to each model and require re-sealing the tub. It’s a nightmare.

I buy new now.
