  I still haven’t understood why people bought those. What it does a screen in my fucking fridge do any good for me?

    I hear people type grocery lists or that kind of stuff into them imstead of having a magnet whiteboard.

    No idea, I would never buy one with a screen. An icemaker and water dispenser is as fancy as I am willing to go.

      The icemaker and water dispenser are always the first things to break too. Fuck all that shit, just give me a box that stays cold with a light that works.

        Ice trays last 20+ years. And you can fill them with flavored water or yogurt.

        My wife picked an LG as our last fridge and the first thing to go was the compressor and the second thing to go was the compressor again. The water dispenser and icemaker held up fine :)

        The water stuff is certainly the most likely to go, but I've had pretty good luck so far.

        They’re actually super easy to fix. Generally it’s just the solenoid needs to be swapped out. You can buy them cheap on Amazon for most fridges and install takes like 10 minutes.

        I stay away from the OEM ones. While they do last longer, it’s cheaper to replace it every 3 years or so for like $30 than it is to pay for the OEM one.

      And even that’s a stretch!

      That’s what I have a phone for.

      But yeah, probably. And knowing Samsung, you would probably need a Samsung phone for the app sync.

      My fridge has an ice maker. I fill the little trays with water and put them in the freezer and they turn into ice. Works great.

      Real, we have notes on our phone off we’re in a pinch but we usually use a physical note book

    Some have cameras on the inside that let you view the contents without opening it. Some have AI that use the cameras to track your food stock. I doubt either of these things justify the amount of resources they consume to accomplish this pointless bullshit.

      that’s just going to lead to grocery store ads: hey there, low on milk? i can tell… get 5¢ off

      AI: that’s a duck!

      No, it’s a rotting cabbage. I should have gotten the dumb fridge.
