  There’s a future coming where every fridge sold will come with a screen for ads, and not necessarily any other smart features.

  Once people accept this shit, there’s no going back.

    I have never bought a fridge in my life. When I bought this house the owner just left the current fridge behind it has no branding at all and is basically a white box. The only smart feature it has is that it beeps if you leave the door open (although honestly it’s not really much use since it only starts beeping after 10 minutes which I feel like is too long).

      I have a feeling the alarm you’re talking about is a temperature alarm, not for the door. It’s just that leaving the door open will drop the temperature eventually.

    and that future will include me ripping out the network connection cards from the primary boards.

    if that bricks it, I’ll just have to setup an “internet” connection.

    I sure hope not, it’s hard enough to find nonsucking TVs, I really don’t want to have to find an “industrial” fridge just to get a regular one.

    I can totally see it going the same general way as TVs.

      If it has a screen, theyll put ads on it. If it doesn’t have a screen, they’ll add a screen, then put ads on it.

    I would pry the screen off and dig out the WIFI device if it came down to no other option.
