Samsung is rolling out an update to its refrigerators with displays that will enable them to show advertisements.
The good news is that it’s going to break soon anyway and you’ll have to buy another. Maybe try one without a screen on it.

So this reinforcers my policy of not buying Samsung. They really do just retroactively add ads to every product with a screen.
Hahaha. Who would pay so much for a smart fridge. In the words of Gilfoyle, all it needs to do is keep my fucking beer cold.
Well, with ads it will likely become cheaper than dumb fridges, which will lock in more and more customers until the sudden subscription service hits and everyone have to agree and pay up or buy a new fridge altogether. This isn’t the first, second nor third time this has happened.
Honestly, it doesn’t cost more than fridge without a screen. I was trying to buy an LG with the window that you can knock on to see inside (not screen) but it was out of stock… and ended up with one of these fridges. The software is stupid though, I use it to play music sometimes when I’m cooking. It has some menu options for controlling the fridge too. I would love to load up custom ROM though…
I would love to load up custom ROM though... What annoys me the most is lack of RTC battery, because the time resets whenever there's a power outage.
They made an Internet-connected fridge and didn't put an NTP client on it?
No,
not giving them money is only answer that anyone should ever consider
Pi-hole is useful for a lot of other things too.
I bought a camera system and noticed it pinging home for updates, and shut that off real quick thanks to Pi-hole.
Missing the point.
But, can it play Doom?
First world problems
Don’t buy dumb smart home devices or you get exactly what you deserve.
Oh fuck no.
Lololololololilolololololollol
I could have sworn this was already the case.
It’s like none of you ever have seen a small TV on the counter 🤣.
Jesus christ the elitist nerd schick is high in here. So many angry nerds about wanting to and a calendar in the kitchen.
You’re so smart, I hope you enjoy your ads.
No ads here!
nope.
