Samsung brings ads to US fridges (theverge.com)

[dead]

If there are two versions of fridges, one with and one without, the one with better be cheaper. Also expect an uptick in "How do I ..," questions related to removal or bypassing the ads.

They’ve been creating mesh networks to allow their fridges to send surveillance data back to Samsung and customize ads on Samsung TVs for a while.

Their appliances are unreliable, I repairable garbage, and their support is even worse.

Even ads, buying their products is a terrible idea.

Never buy a Samsung product again.

imagine being OK with your refrigerator giving you ads. ridiculous.

I can't wait to ditch my Samsung phone for a google pixel with Graphene.

Funny how this is on an ad riddled website

This is an inevitable stage for every smart appliance: it will either suddenly stop working because it is discontinued, or it will start serving ads. I would argue it the same will happen with smart glasses, autonomous cars, and other smart device

Good. One less brand for me to consider when looking for my appliances.
