Presto, for $16,000 your dream has come true.

It's been awhile since we've heard about Laundroid, the laundry folding robot that will make lazy people swoon. Now, parent company Seven Dreamers has announced a new partnership that could make your laundry-related life even easier.
Seven Dreamers is partnering with Cerevo, a company that focuses on IoT and connected devices in Japan and across the world, to bring voice control technology to Laundroid. But there's a catch: As of the announcement date, it won't work with Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant or any other widely used voice control service.
Instead, Laundroid will only work with Cerevo's Lumigent, a desk lamp that responds to voice control. "Lumigent lights up automatically when spoken to. The integration will enable Lumigent to command the basic Laundroid operations," says the press release. Pricing on the lamp isn't available, but it will likely set you back between $400 and $700.

Even while possessed of a testicular challenge, I've been doing my own laundry for decades and the only arguable requirements through that would have been Start, Stop, or Shut the Fuck Up with that racket from bouncing in the spin cycle. Beyond that, just be a good robo and get it done without fucking bothering me. Understand this last and it's important since you are a washing machine robo and do not need to be Sartre.
Everyone wants a folding machine since the other parts of laundry aren't so terrible since, wtf, the machine does most of the work but we hate folding, mostly because we never figured out how Japanese fold t-shirts. If you have never seen the trick, watch it and figure it out for yourself.
All of those IoT devices are hacker playgrounds so now we approach the zenith in hacked technology when suddenly your folding machine can become an activist.
Praise the dear Lord for technology, huh.
