when you buy an over-engineered appliance, if i feel like spending extra $$$ for a fridge, i’d rather go for quality steel panels and compressor, not an screen with wifi

Make me a nuclear blastproof fridge. Wtf do I need a screen for? What does the wifi do for me? Does it tell me if I am out of eggs? I fucking thought not.

Back in the 50s and 60s fridges got cold. The racks were made out of metal so they lasted forever. We could build fridges like this, but we choose not to.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Or just the average sense of impending doom?

Somewhere in between. At least enough to hide inside if a missile hits my house.

Pretty sure it can, but idk how good it is.

How does it know though? If I just put a carton of eggs in there probably not. If the special egg holder is empty maybe. But I could still have eggs while the holder is empty and the fridge would be none the wiser.
But I don’t actually know how it knows the number of eggs so I might be wrong.

It knows because there are cameras inside the fridge and it can recognize the items you put inside and remove, and has logic built around all of these observations.
It’s not perfect but I’m surprised how often it’s accurate, especially in a household that doesn’t give any shits whatsoever about refrigerator organization.
