I don't think I'll ever understand why people buy such "smart" appliances. There's little value in it for the purchaser, and they come with a heavy price in terms of privacy and annoyance.
Clippy would not have put adverts on your fridge.
1. Why would you buy a smart fridge in the first place?

2. Why would you connect a fridge to the internet? You are visiting fridge several times a day....

I only recently read Philip K.Dick's Ubik and this headline alone sounded oddly familiar. At least, your smart locks aren't requesting payment ... yet?

These new links work like short URLs and will only redirect you after Reddit associates your visit with that particular short URL.
