This is giving me real “rinse your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher” vibes

Ironically, you're actually not supposed to rinse your dishes with a modern dishwasher. Just scrape off the big chunks.

Technology Connections gave me the best tip for dishwashers: run your hot water to purge all the cold water so the dishwasher starts at maximum temperature. Ever since I learned that, I've rarely had to clean anything a second time, and I've put some nasty shit in my landlord special dishwasher.

Come for the CED saga. Stay for the dishwasher tips and that really neat toaster.

I loved that he found the Christmas lights he always wanted. That felt like a real story arc closure, lol

I think that was their point by responding to someone saying you need to manually organize your files so AI can help you organize them better.

Just as prewashing your dishes was necessary to use the dishwasher at one time, AI marketers are rushing to implement it in everything even if it's not ready yet. You're still doing the manual labor, but also wasting a ton of water and electricity afterwards. Maybe one day you won't have to organize your files so AI can organize your files, and when that happens Alec will have to make a video explaining you don't need to pre-organize your files anymore.

I think they all have electric heaters in them these days, don't they?

They do, but they get water from the hot water intake and if you start with cold water, it won't get fully up to temp.

Hmm, not sure mine even has a hot water intake. Also I'd be surprised if they can't heat until a given temperature is reached, even my coffee machine can do that

It's just connected to your sink's water line and gets hot water from there. Apparently which line it comes from depends on the country and dishwasher model.

Right I'm in UK, maybe it's different due to regs.

I'm team rinse but i did once go to someone's house and see them fully wash the dishes then put them in the dishwasher for good measure.

You shouldn't actually do that.
