> I just throw my laundry in the machine

Into the dishwasher?

I suppose it technically could clean clothing too, albeit you probably can't fit very much without balling or layering stuff up too much to get it clean. A clothes washing machine is probably more efficient for this purpose.

Although for countries where laundry machines are typically in the kitchen, a theoretical hybrid machine would be interesting (if it worked well, and the dish specific stuff could fold away compactly), but in practice multi-function machines like that rarely seem to turn out well.

Considering the pH of dishwasher liquid, you may not have much clothes remaining at the end of the washing cycle...

Unless you use laundry detergent when you wash clothes and dishwashing liquid when you wash your dishes.

Oh, I have seen worse things in student dormitories.

Ever seen someone use the coffe-maker to cook instant ramen?

I've had AirBnB guests that used the electric kettle to cook ramen. This is an apartment with a stove, oven and all necessary kitchen equipment.

Of course this is stupid; you put the dry ramen in a bowl, pour on boiling water, and wait a minute or two. That's what the instructions on the pack actually say. It's not necessary to boil ramen.

A lot of instant noodles taste a lot better if you boil them a bit.

Okay, but how is wifi involved in this process? We've had these machines for close to 100 years, they didn't get enough time to get a working alorythm?

Wi-Fi wouldn’t seem to help though… the machine would need to have the relevant sensors locally.
