Not sure I can agree. I've bought a new Bosch dishwasher and I am quite pleased with the overall sound level. Maybe except for the obnoxious beeping when it's done :)

Would you mind sending one to Austria?

Sure, though the shipping would be a bit high with 8,89 € uninsured or 13,99 € insured/traceable.

If we're sharing anecdotes I also have a XPS13 9650 which is now over 4 years old and I never had any issues whatsoever with it. Runs Linux since day one and I could not be happier.

On: Have we let the LED indicator light go too far?

[edelhans]

One of the reasons I bought a FRITZ!Box was that I can control all the LEDs. Lets me change the brightness or completely turn them off. I wish more devices had a feature like this.

My wireless access point (a tp-link eap245) has a single LED, and that can be turned off in the webinterface. I wish every device had such an option.

My tp-link actually has a button next to the LEDs that turns them all on or off. If I want to know whether it's my router that's broken or if the DSL line is down, I press the button and look at the indicator for DSL. The same-brand powerline adapter has it in the webinterface, I find that less nice but it works as well.
