Interestingly enough using Chrome on OSX it looked nothing like those screenshots and didn't bother me at all. I am also red green colour blind.

Our build was around $355'000, for 279m2 but it was high set. We did opt for some premium finishes not found on most homes built these days, we have 2.7m high ceilings, ducted ac, ducted vac, square set cornices, stone bench tops through out, floor to ceiling tiles in the bathrooms and wc, we also have european appliances, built in coffee machine, steam oven etc.

Based on what we spent yeah ours would have been around $230k if we had built 180m2, but you have to factor in the fact we did go double storey.

Can someone help me out on the missing pieces here, whats the average construction cost of a regular home in the US ? In Australia a single storey 180m2 home which is just under 2000 ft2 would run for approximately $200k AUD. That works out to be $1100 per square meter or a little over $100 AUD or $80 USD per square foot. The article is stating around $300 USD per square foot, this seems astronomically expensive.

So a lot of systems these days use email password recovery, is this not just adding another attack vector ?.

This is a commercial medical laboratory Washer-disinfector. The reporting is most likely mandated based on its usage in a medical setting. Some of these devices print out reports that are required to be stored. I suppose this would allow them to easily keep those records paperless.

I am in no way justifying the lack of security but I think its important to understand that its unlikely to be opened up for a free for all connected to the public internet.
