  That’s the main issue here. This fridge didn’t show ads when people bought it.
  So buying things that don’t show ads isn’t enough. You need to only buy things that don’t get updates.

    Yeah, that just makes this so sinister.

    What I mean is that my fridge doesn’t have a screen. So if Panasonic decided to show me ads on a fridge where the most complicated feature is the ice maker, that would be a neat trick.

      Receives a letter at home from Panasonic containing a message, a color printed sheet and a fridge magnet.

      Message reads: “Dear costumer, please use enclosed fridge magnet to hang provided advert on your Panasonic refrigerator”

        Funny you say that, in Japan it’s common to get business magnets in your junk mail. Stuff like cleaners, in-home therapy, etc.

    But… Do you need the LCD panel? Will the box still get cold without it? Cause I do have a hammer…

  I would not buy them here or there. I would not buy them anywhere. I do not like appliances with ads. I do not like them Sam-I-Am.

    Not in my house
    Not in a flat
    Don’t make me grouse
    I do not want that!
