As others have said, both washers and dryers let clothes tumble around uncontrollably for hours at a time which can do varying levels of damage.

My best unscientific advice from doing both a lot is to keep load sizes small. Reduces the friction and theoretically reduces the drying time, which also reduces damage. Also, if drying tshirts with ink prints, flip them inside out to protect the ink.

bitter sweet. hoping that those who were laid off continue developing some great indie games. that’s where the market is headed anyways

Unless your dishwasher truly has something wrong with it, there’s just a few things you should do every time for it to work flawlessly.

• remove big food particles off dishes (sauces, peanut butter is fine)
• if your dishwasher and sink share the same water line, most likely they do, run the sink until it’s hot before running the dishwasher
• put detergent in the actual dispenser and close it, it serves a purpose
• avoid using pods, powder detergent works fine
• clean filter regularly

those are the main things. if you really want to nerd out then check this video out.

Technology Connections provides great explanation of how they work and goes way more in depth on how to properly use a dishwasher, especially with detergent. honestly he provides great content on most things we use in our daily lives and is worth checking out.
