A washing machine warning that a red sock has found its way into a white wash.

A fridge that anticipates when you're likely to open it.

Deeptech and physical AI were everywhere at IFA 2026.

But do we actually want this functionality? And who controls the data and decisions?

Hmm, I suspect, but do not know without taking this apart, that there are three functionally identical buttons on the Oster blender here.

There's a "pulse" (momentary on/off)
Three DIFFERENT buttons (mix, chop, blend)
A low/high speed.
(and off)

The mix/chop/blend buttons just turn it on.... there's no speed difference here, and it's just a simple motor that turns a blade.

I think they ADD EXTRA BUTTON THAT DO NOTHING except turn on the motor to make you think it has extra functions, but which actually do not do anything but make it look fancy.

23 Best Gifts for Cooks (2026): Vitamix, Frying Pans, Air Fryers

OK, so technically the best home knife sharpener is probably a set of Shapton stones, plus a knife sharpening class and some diligence. But the best knife is the sharp knife—and that comes from having a knife sharpener you’ll act…

Another reason why I wish more appliances still had physical buttons and knobs, aside from the obvious tactile one, is that it's an easy way for you to have a personal default setting.

My countertop dishwasher for example has only touch buttons. They are a pain to trigger, especially with wet hands, and it always starts at the energy- and water-saving programme, so helpfully named "1", which takes about 2 hours. Whereas I prefer the short programme, which takes only 30 minutes, since it's the only programme that doesn't include a drying cycle, and it usually cleans well-enough. I usually prefer to just open the door afterwards, pull the rack out on top of it, and let it air-dry while its contents are still hot. It's programme 3 though, so I'll have to press that programme-select button twice. every... single... time...

Whereas if the programme-select was just a physical knob, I could just leave it on programme 3. I also like to always have it start with a 5-minute steam, which could also just be a physical switch, instead of a non-tactile area I have to press every time. Hell, make it a knob that sets the duration of the steam session.

Even better; instead of mildly different predefined programmes, give me a whole bunch of knobs for pre-wash temperature and duration, main programme temperature and duration, rinse cycle. Put a nice, user-replaceable, LED above each of them that indicates which cycle it's currently in, and one shared countdown timer display, and I'm a happy camper.

#EPA Retreats From Plans to End the #EnergyStar Program
The agency has faced blowback from business leaders and Republicans over plans to end the popular #energy #efficiency program.
#LeeZeldin, the administrator of the #EnvironmentalProtectionAgency, has quietly retreated from plans to eliminate Energy Star, a popular program whose iconic blue labels help #consumers to choose energy efficient dishwashers, refrigerators and other home #appliances.

I am so fucking mad.

Our dishwasher had a leak. About two weeks ago. We payed a crap ton of money to get it fixed and it took over a week. I’ve run it two, maybe three times since. Last night we got the same leak error code that started the whole mess.

I am so incredibly pissed off.

Did I mention all of this started one day after the warranty expired? Yeah. Perfection.

Fucking shitty dishwasher. I want to rip it out of the wall and take an axe to it. With extreme prejudice.
