    Oh I don’t argue about that. I personally try to avoid anything “smart” primarily for privacy concerns.

    I was just curious what the cause was. In another comment someone suggested that the washing machine was eavesdropping which would be consistent with usage was mostly uploading, but I think 5.7GB would be too much data, unless it was uncompressed.

      I’d bet it is uncompressed. There is probably the cheapest slowest processor in there that they could get away with.

      What do they care if they eat up your bandwidth?

      Then can easily compress it once it arrives wherever it’s going.
