Replacing the control board is going to cost $400. That’s most of the price of the device.
Requiring a control board swap to lose the “smarts” / lockdown isn’t really a good enough option.
I suppose the emergence of the GNU Washing Machine Control Software would be a wonderful thing, but are we there now?
I didn't say it was a good enough option. It's just one of the only self-help options we have. And my point was that it is even less applicable to cars.
