Wait, so with a strong enough IR led, someone could disrupt washing machines in their entire neighborhood?

If everyone had a Miele washing machine and put it on their front porch facing the street, maybe.

Did you know that with a strong enough LED pointed through a window into the living room they could also disrupt TVs by changing the channel or even turning them off remotely!

Yes but I suppose it is more fun to shrink someone's socks than to turn off their TV.
