I have a fancy one with multiple temp setting and a keep warm feature and still no beeper. But I also drink “fancy loose leaf teas” that are best steeped at different temps. I mean, steeping the Iron Goddess of Mercy Oolong in boiling water will get you no mercy from her. Just a bitter nasty cuppa. But at 85C she is as gentle and merciful as a cool summer’s breeze after a day in the hot afternoon sun.

I didn’t even know kettles could have a beeper.

I simply desoldered the buzzer. I think the problem is in some of the sensors, because the thermostat for the fridge part shows an error instead of letting me adjust the temperature (but I’m guessing it’s still falling back somewhere within the adjustable range). I’m positive that the light turns off on a closed door, I can hear the relay switching it off and I can see the light coming on with a delay (like it normally does) after opening the door.

I think it was a Bosch.

So many electronics insist upon themselves. You’re a fan that blows away the fart smells in the bathroom, you are not the star of the show.

At first I loved the blue LEDs when they showed up in the early 2000 but I’ve grown to hate them. Why can’t a soft green or red be used.

When super bright LEDs became a thing they felt they needed to put them in everything. “It is new!” I went into my home office to get something and didn’t turn the light on and wondered what the blue glow in it was. It was an LED in a monitor telling me it was plugged in. My wife has me put black tape over leds on things like usb hubs because they are blindingly bright.

Don’t get me started on leds flashlights that all have multimode including rapid flashing so when the battery connection is poor, like when the flashlight gets old, if there is a split second break in power it switches to rapid flashing. Just what I need when trying to get around in the dark.

I use a black permanent marker on all blindingly bright LEDs. Most of mine were actually sticking out so was able to paint over them without messing up the rest of the device. Tones them down nicely, but you can still see if it’s on.

Gaffer tape. Gaffer tape everywhere. And for those LEDs that you actually want to see, but not light up the whole room, two pieces of gaffer tape with a hair’s breadth between them. Makes for an indicator light that can only really be seen when your looking straight at it.

That kind of beeping is fine by me. What I hate is when it’s done it will beep every few seconds indefinitely.

My toaster just triggers the toast catapult when he’s done with his thing. Noise notifies me, toasted bread flies around, what’s not to like?

My rice cooker plays twinkle twinkle little star and I always dance to it when it’s done.

Does it require a Bluetooth connection? Lol I wish that was entirely a joke question

All of my Korean appliances sing the songs of their people once they have accomplished the most menial of tasks.

as if the house rattling launch of the toast wasnt enough to tell you, your neighbors, and the russian seismograph monitors on the other side of the world that the toast was ready.

but think: what if you could tell the toaster what tune to play?

and what if the toaster played La Llorona instead anyways, in different styles every morning, because The Toaster has better taste in music than you

Wouldn’t help the people in the office that go toss a bagel in the toaster then never come back for their burnt charcoal that got stuck because it was too plump to pop up

Yeah I just moved from an apartment with a washer like that. It’s cute for the first 2 seconds, the first couple of uses. After a while it feels almost passive aggressive

if only they used the same damn knobs they used in the 1980s. what measured analog resistance instead of checking for bumps and shit. there’s a damn chip in there, use it to convert the analog to digital. the analog dials have SO MUCH BETTER tactile response.

My 20 year old microwave has multiple beeps? Like soft ones when you press stuff, a couple of loud ones when it’s done. Some acoustic feedback is nice.

My recent kitchen appliances just beep the same volume regardless of what’s happening. To loud when using the device, to soft to properly notify you when completing a task. That air fryer experience hits close to home. Fuck modern appliances. Although my new washing machine is a shitload more efficient.

I don’t want smart tech, I want old fashioned pre 2008 dumb tech. Just make it home assistant compatible, kthx.

Now we have these “touch” screens that can only provide feedback through annoying beeps, because you can’t feel them or hear them click anymore.

We’re so buried in our phones. Instead of giving someone a real smile, we send an emoji. I mean, we don’t even look at porn at our computer anymore, we look at it on our PHONE?

Rage the fucking machine?

How dare you.

Does not help. If you don’t notice the burner is hot, you’d think the flame would be obvious. It’s not

My new stove beeps when it is on but there’s no pan which seems like a good idea at first, but that means it yells at me when I pick a pan up such as to help the butter or oil spread around

Is there no need to replace it with a resistor of equal value?

keep track of which goes where

Is it a legit repair if you don’t have some parts left over after reassembling? 🤔

Yeah! Yeah! CUT ITS FUCKING LEGS OFF!

Will it still work even though there’s no longer a connection across where the beeper used to be? Got a toaster that beeps so high that even our cat gets freaked out

I would love if that was enough. My fire-and-spider detecor is very loud.

Smart. Need to remember that.

It is a nice fryer, but what you are telling is exactly the behaviour of mine. Also, I have tinnitus, beep yeah.

Yeah but if you turn it off it sends a message to the LG servers to steal even more data!
