Yes screens on fridges are stupid but… The display will definitely last more than 5 years. I’d even go so far as to say that it will last longer than the compressor of the fridge. Where do people get the idea that displays fail very easily?

A fridge lifespan is measured in tens of years? That tablet on the door is deprecated in something like 5. Make it make sense (and I don’t mean the capitalist sense of see ads and buy a new fridge everytime the tablet is done for)

It’s not that the display will fail, it’s that the tablet that powers it will be hopelessly outdated in 5 years and likely not even receive security updates anymore, so your “smart” fridge will probably end up getting a virus while browsing the Internet or something like that.

Modern fridges last less than 7 years.
I like smart devices and IoT but I hate that for normal people this has been diluted down to cameras and screens on everything with no consideration about privacy or boundaries.
