FreeBSD replaces bubblesort with mergesort on SYSINTs, results in 100x speed

I'd say it depends on how long it takes to boot up. Fortunately, my dishwasher boots up instantly. If it takes a few seconds, sure it's annoying, but you can work around that. Say press the on button, then check the detergent is in place, etc, then press start. If it's some ridiculous length, like several minutes, I'd probably only buy that crap at a steep discount.

Huh. This must be recent-ish. My parents' dishwasher has a rotary button to choose the program, which stays put as long as the little grandchildren don't mess with it..

Found it: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=uriserv:...

Ours was bought in late 2020, but manufacturers probably take a head start with implementation whenever they renew their models.
