Those aren't minutes, they're drying time units, which last as long as the dryer decides it wants them to last on any particular day.

Who the fuck programs these things? Why even have this measurement if the units are not a fixed length? Just put a light on it that says “done” or “not done”

It’s an estimation, which I prefer over the vagueness of a done/not done light. I recognize that it’s not specific or reliable for any precision, but having a general idea of when it will be done is useful.

its got the vague precision of a fucking sledgehammer

says 30 minutes, could be 10, could be an hour, who knows

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Ah, mine is much better than that. Usually right within 15 minutes or so

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Mine typically says 2.5 hours and is done in 1.5-2h. Anyone using estimates on a minute schedule is... gonna have a bad time
