Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges

the only thing I could think of with a smart fridge is being able to check the contents from your phone while you are at the store to see if you need milk or whatever…but that’s not really a problem that justifies ads and the absolute invasion of privacy and the fact that the thing is likely about as secure as a wooden fence on a bank vault

Yeah I’ve heard of the checking contents thing. Maybe it comes down to your habits and constraints - I just don’t really ever have that problem and the solution seems worse to me than just kinda… making a grocery list and walking to the store a couple times a week as I do now.

  yeah, I personally just check the fridge the night before and write down what I need.
  
  I know I’m on the “technology” community of an internet website but I find that adding computers to something that is sufficiently addressed with some forethought and a piece of paper is just making things unnecessarily complicated. Call me Ted K I guess lol

I’ve often fantasized about a fridge that knows its contents and adds items to a shopping list as they get low. maybe it could check prices at local stores or help combat waste by suggesting recipes based on what we already have at home.

Would I trust any company currently making smart-fridges to deliver on all that, and then willingly invite that product into my home? Absolutely not.

If we ever have a fridge like that, I will have built it myself.
