Summary

Have we really done 300 episodes of this podcast? We have now! To mark the occasion, we're taking a look back at a lot of the things that have changed in the tech world since we posted our first ep in September 2019. Turns out, uh, a lot has happened since then, from scammy Valley bros pivoting through crypto, NFTs, and AI, to streaming services going from beloved to reviled, electric vehicles actually becoming a practical thing, a lot of unsuccessful attempts to knock the dominant social platforms off their pedestals, handheld gaming becoming incredibly robust, and a bunch of other trends to consider.

You know that saying the Lord giveeth and the Lord taketh away? Yeah, it has to, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's like when I gained, when my wife lost weight, I gained weight. That's how that works, right? Yeah. Took it from her and gave it to you. Yeah. Maybe a couple days after we got that new refrigerator installed last week. Your garage fridge. Yeah. I mean, it's a kitchen fridge in our case, but it's garage ready just in case. Okay. The dishwasher started admitting some rather concerning sounds. Hold on. Didn't you have a period of time like last year when the dishwasher didn't work at all? This dishwasher is less than two years old. That seems bad. Oh? Yeah, so you call your landlord? Not yet. It's still working. It was just... Oh, no. I'm just gonna let it rot. No. I mean, I don't know how dire the situation is. It's definitely a new sound. Yeah. It could indicate an issue with the pump motor from what I've looked at online.

0:55.2

Yeah.

0:55.4

Yeah.

0:55.5

But so far it has come and gone enough that I'm not 100% sure. That's what it is. Like we just ran another cycle right before this podcast and it was mostly quiet. Have you cleaned the filter? Yeah. We clean the filter regularly. I asked that because sometimes like when our just watchers started making noise when I was on a one time, I asked my wife if she'd clean the filter and she's like, what there's a filter? What filter? Yeah. And I was like, oh, sweet Jesus. So I'm the one who does that, I guess. It's not bad dire, but I did look up like LG dishwasher buzzing sound and found a whole lot of people talking about the pump motor going out on those things like pretty quickly.

1:28.2

So I had this experience with my Bosch dishwasher.

1:31.4

Let's see.

1:32.6

We bought the Bosch dishwasher right around the time my daughter was born.

1:36.4

So it would have been like 2013.

1:37.9

Oh, yeah, that's a while.

1:39.3

And it started making a bad noise when she was still in bottles.

1:43.9

So that would have been when she was less than two probably.

1:46.5

Okay.

1:47.1

And the warranty had expired a year into that.

1:51.1

So it was about six months after the warranty expired.

1:54.8

And I called the people that sold it to us.

1:57.5

And they were like, well, you didn't buy the extended warranty.

1:59.3

I was like, nope, you're right.

2:00.1

I didn't buy the extended warranty. And so like, nope, you're right. I didn't buy the extended warranty.

2:02.3

And so then I called an appliance repair guy who came out and was like, oh, yeah, no, just buy a new dishwasher. Wow. And I was like, well, why? He's like, dishwashers are an enormous pain in the ass to work on. And I said, oh, okay. and he said, but like if you want to do it,

1:59.6

it's either this or that and both the parts are right next to each other.

2:03.6

You got to disassemble the entire thing to get to them. And one part is $10 and the other one's $250. And the only way to tell which one it is is if you take it all the way apart and then put it all the way back together with one part, but not the other one. And I was like, okay, this sounds bad. So I went on Amazon and the $250 part was only $125. And the $25 part was only $15. And I was like, well, worst case if it doesn't work, I'll rip it back out, take those parts out, and send them back to Amazon. So it's an experiment. And what
