Samsung confirms it will begin showing you advertisements on refrigerator screen (fortune.com)

I like how they frame it as “meeting customer needs”, as if customers were begging to see ads on their expensive fridge.

Fuck Samsung. Someones needs to hack the firmware and replace it with something useful.

Never buy anything from Samsung

Samsung doesn't make anything good in the way of appliances anyway... so, pretty easy to avoid this bs.

Well, that's one product I won't be buying.

I now have ads on HBO Max, Prime Video and Disney+. Netflix also has ads.

Phone apps collect your data and show you ads.

Some smart TVs show you ads, and also collect your data.

Now the fridges.

When will we get ads beamed into our dreams à la Futurama?
