Siemens Washing Machine : Kill the Buzzer

The washing machine we have has the habit of sending out an irritating beep after it finishes the wash cycle.

Ok enough; but these intermittent beeps go on and on and on till it is sure everyone came back home after your attending your funeral. One awful engineer who programmed the chip.

Anyway, been looking around the net if there is a work around. Found this written by some Russian. I didn’t have patience to correct the grammar entirely. If the below does  not work, there is always the option of an Axe and ‘hey Siemens,..Heeeere is Johnyyy!)

-- text

You can change the volume of the buzzer according
to your requirement.
The operation procedure:
1. Switch on the machine,turn the program selector
to Off .

2. Turn the program selector to cold Easy-care ,
press the additional function button Intensive
stains and dont let go. You can hear the volume
of the buzzer from minimum to maximum to off
cycled (I didnt hear this!). If you decide the volume that you wanted,
loosen your finger.

3. Finally,turn the program selector to Off . If
necessary,select other programs by turning
the program selector after several seconds.

4. If the volume of buzzer has been opened,you
can hear the audible feedback as same volume
as buzzer when you press Start button. If be
not opened,you can t hear the voice.The operation
may check if the volume of buzzer has
been opened.

    I have a 1470 model. I put the dialer on cold and held the 'Additional Rinse' button for a couple of seconds and it worked!

BitArray 0 and 1s to Hex and back

This code will let you convert an arbitrary string with 0s and 1s only into a Hex value, and back. Why? Maybe you have a Javascript component that renders based on a long array of bits. Lets say var b = "101010101100101001000101011101010010011100000010100110000010001010010011000000000001000010101001110000000001100010100000" The string can be stored in the DB as nvarchar(max) field, but then if you want to reduce the length by 1/8th, you can convert it into a Hexadecimal representation The above would be equivalent to 27029822 930010A9C018A0 Ok, this is the 'bit packing' concept implemented in a very crude way. Anyhow, the output is human readable and probably easier to pass in a JSON The functions are as below     Private Function bitArrayStrtoHex(b As String) As String         Dim sb As New System.Text.StringBuilder         For i As Integer = 0 To b.Length - 1 Step 8             Dim cu...

HTML Sidebar menu without jQuery

Most examples I found on the net for a responsive sidebar had a reference to jQuery. For two lines of code, I find it an unnecessary overhead. So this is a basic page with no dependencies that has a toggle-able sidebar as well as a media query javascript that hides the sidebar below a breakpoint screen width. Modify as necessary. Maybe tricks could be added such as the one to change the hamburger to X when the sidebar is visible. https://jsbin.com/romiqov/2/edit?html,output <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head>     <meta charset="UTF-8">     <title>SideBar test</title>     <style>         * {             margin: 0;             padding: 0;             font-family:'Segoe UI', Tahoma, Geneva, Verdana, sans-serif;         }         #sidebar { ...
