I was quite concerned about this move toward legislation to make things

I would certainly like to be able to download a manual for my washing
machine that would tell me how it works. If it stops mid cycle I would
like to know what it is waiting for. The last I bought can be controlled
via a mobile phone using NFC. I have never seen the point of this, but
if I could connect the machine to my wifi and then get full diagnostic
information I would find that useful.
