I once used one to look up my friend from summer camp. He lived in New York City and I didn't live anywhere close

Our machines have the ability to turn the buzzer on after each cycle, but it's not sticky. Given how far away from everything else the laundry room is, even with the chime you can't really hear it. So I have it set to just ping our phones when a load is done

Shame, because I used to actually admire how he handled layoffs. Was a far sight better (from outside looking in) than the "thanks, here's one extra paycheck, send your laptop back at your expense please" I'd experienced

I've heard the song and dance from all the tech companies at this point. Google and Microsoft both offered a package that promised things like chart portability and whatnot. Each was shut down a couple years later, and charts and records remain as locked down as ever
