Comment on Here’s what ads on your $2,000 Samsung smart fridge will look like

Not a “smart” fridge per se, but I can see the use of a screen on my fridge; something where we can see our family calendar, leave notes for each other, and maybe also be able to access the grocery shopping list. Weather would be nice too, though you can keep the news widget (yikes). Something in a visible location in our house, where we go every day.

I’m not sure what other features they advertise with a smart fridge, but those few would be nice; especially if I could just plug a raspberry pi into it and skip all of the Samsung nonsense entirely.

I don’t even like water/ice dispensers on the door. I love the interior water dispensers.

  I agree with you there.

We already do all of that (except the weather) why would I need a screen?

  We’re a family of six, and the kids don’t have phones. It’s tough to coordinate schedules already and it’s only going to get worse.
  
  I recognize that I’m an edge case.

    You’re not an edge case. My family isn’t that large but we still have challenges with this exact thing.
    
    There’s a screen device that my wife gets incessantly advertised to her that is probably a better option than it being built into a fridge that has been engineered to last 3 weeks longer than the warranty.

    I was trying to say there is paper. That’s what we always did.

    We’ve tried paper. And dry-erase. The problem is that we keep our calendars and todos and schedules on our phones, which don’t automatically update the paper; and by the second week, we tend to just stop manually updating it. There’s a paper calendar in my office that I just flipped to October last week (from August).
    
    The only way that really seems to work, where we don’t forget an event, is having a single digital shared calendar.
