Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator

Missing the point.

Pi-hole is useful for a lot of other things too.
I bought a child cam system and noticed it pinging home for updates, and shut that off real quick thanks to Pi-hole.
But it misses the point

To be honest, I’d judge people who have fridges with a screen. Completely unnecessary. This problem is easily solved.
Until they’re impossible to find without a screen, like dumb TVs are near impossible to find today.

You got me. I’m posting from my refrigerator.
I’m still holding out for when they finally put out a Linux fridge
-
I wonder if it’ll be like TVs, which are cheap as fuck for a really nice TV, but equipped with garbage like Alexa and Amazon fire.
Right now, you can buy a $200 “smart” TV, or a $1800 “dumb” TV. I wonder if fridges and other appliances will go in that direction.
Literally the only reason my LG TV is hooked up to the wifi is so I can show my wife stuff from my Android phone. For everything else we have an Apple TV.
I can’t see any good reason to allow a fridge access to the internet.

Use apple cast

Only sometimes. I’ve seen the mute button be disabled on numerous machines. Worth knowing and trying when the screen is blaring ads at you, but my success rate has been low in muting them.
Yeah, and it varies by station. I push all the buttons. Some times one works, some times not.

So you can see the inside of your fridge while never seeing the inside of your fridge. /s
Just open the fucking door.

Hard to do AirPlay from a Pixel.

Are there even any dumb TVs anymore? The current lineup from CES 2025 is LG (OLED), Samsung (OLED), and TCL (MiniLED) which have great image quality options, but I’m fairly sure all are using a “smart” platform.
TCL doesn’t bother with software and uses Google TV. Samsung uses Tizen which is linux with another junk UI, though less painful than Google. LG uses webOS which I’ve heard UI side is better, but its still a junk UI on linux.

Samsung is rolling out an update to its refrigerators with displays that will enable them to show advertisements.
Whoever bought a smart fridge deserves watching those ads

The only smart feature a fridge needs is a beeper for when the door has been left open or water filter needs changing. It sure as heck doesn’t need WiFi.
But how else will you know you need to make an unnecessary purchase?!
-
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.

All the terrible touch features they’re adding to cars these days makes me think a brand new car today would go obsolete before a 10 year old used car with 100k miles. New cars are unrepairable because of how complicated they are.
100% agree; the whole Touch Screen Everything UI like those found in Teslas are the absolute worst.
Having to take your eyes off the road to do literally anything to do with the climate system should be made illegal. Bring back tactile switches, FFS!

No ads here!

An expensive motor that breaks, or decides to close on you when you’re looking inside, or…
I guess appliance engineers are just stupid and bad at their jobs.

Just in this thread to say Fuck Samsung

The people spending money on parts definitely are.

I mean, nobody REALLY deserves it. Driving consumerism seems misanthropic. Marketing and Sales people feel like a drain on society. Anyone is welcome to change my opinion. Sell me this pen.
