A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

I've loved Technology Connections ever since I saw his riveting hour long video on dishwashing detergent. I don't even have a dishwasher.
I came for the traffic signals. I cringed through the overly-long CED saga. I left after the dishwashers.
I'll still pop in seasonally though, for the latest on proper LED holiday lights.
Dishwashing video #1: Detergent pods must be bad, because dishwashers have a pre-wash dispenser. So if you use pods, you aren't using enough detergent!
Here's my demonstration of how using detergent during pre-wash results in more cleaning occurring during pre-wash (which, you know, isn't the full cycle and isn't how people use dishwashers).
Dishwashing video #2: Actually, I was totally wrong. But detergent pods are still bad, because they result in using too much detergent and are wasteful!
@JWBananas @Rentlar @SilentStorms sooo... the follow-up had a very specific point. Many people were getting a residue after trying powder detergent, and I wanted to help with that.
My main issue with detergent pods isn't so much that they're wasteful, per se, but that they cost a lot more for, potentially, worse results.
Many dozens of people continue to tell me that trying powder detergent both saved money *and* made their dishwasher work better. I stand by that.
He walks among us mere mortals.
