Get ready to see ads on your… Samsung refrigerator
-
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.

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.
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.
