I was at a laundromat, and chose "Hot" as my setting for 3 dryers, as I always do. I sat down about 15 feet from the dryers, just staring into space as I thought. Ten minutes later I double-checked the dryers to make sure they were all on "Hot." I found that two of the three dryers I was using had now switched to the "Delicates" setting, one I never have chosen in my life. While one of these two dryers was out of my sight (blocked by a pillar), the other dryer that had switched to "Delicates" was in my sight for the whole 10 minutes, and I saw no one changing the setting. The dryer control panel is below. If you don't choose a heat setting, this type of dryer will always use "Medium."
Just after posting the first version of this post, I looked up at my TV and saw that my TV program had gone, and that the TV had mysteriously changed to the 2 channel, which produces the look below:
When this switch occurred, I wasn't touching any TV remote. The remotes were both half a meter to my left (below is a photo I took of the state the remotes were in at this time). You can only get the screen above if you press the "2" button on the black remote.
Postscript: Something similar happened on April 6, 2019. I was watching a movie on TV, and suddenly I am surprised to see the blank "Video 2 Game" screen on my TV. The only controller I can use to switch the TV to this "Video 2 Game" was the black controller, which was an arm's length away from me when this switch occurred. For me to switch the TV to "Video 2 Game" requires a press of two different buttons on the remote: (1) a press of the Input button; (2) a press of the + button underneath the Favorites button.
On two separate trips to the laundromat I mentioned above, I confirmed there was no machine issue causing the dryers to switch settings from "High" to "Delicate." They showed no sign of malfunction on those trips.
