    Even better:

    Even better, if you’re doing the wash and left your phone in the other room, Samsung’s added touchscreens to its washers and dryers, including the new Bespoke AI Laundry Vented Combo washer / dryer ($3,099). This lets you answer a call directly on the built-in 7-inch LCD screen.

    You can take calls with your clothes dryer!

      “Hello?”

      “Hey Dave…wait what’s that noise?”

      “Oh that’s my washer and dryer going.”

      “Can you move to the other room? I can’t hear you very well.”

      “No, the call is on my washer.”

      “WHAT?”

      There is no world in which the barely marginal convenience outweighs the additional cost (and near certain privacy invasion of a microphone equipped dryer).

        not to mention, why would you even want to start a conversation that could run on indefinitely and keep you hostage in your laundry room. nothing about this makes sense if you think about it for 5 seconds.

      I have taken calls while loading my dryer, and it’s fucking stupid to not wait. I took advantage of advanced technology called a “pocket” to carry my “mobile” device
