Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges

  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.

      Oh I see. That’s nice. I still don’t need the function though. Give me more space or a better buuld for the premium this feature costs.

        I could also live without it, myself. There are some very nice conveniences associated with the overall ‘family hub’ suite of functionality, but it’s all bells and whistles and not truly necessary of course. But the partner and our spawn appreciate it and they’re happy, and that’s good enough for me

      society is getting dumber.

        I mean, I probably can’t disagree with your sentiment in a general sense, I’m just not sure how this refrigerator nonsense is contributing?
