Never bought a Samsung phone, TV or Fridge. Smart is now translating into "Ad-injection" in various appliances and I hope this backfires!

Silicon Valley parodied smart fridges nearly a decade ago.

One needs to be rally dumb to buy a smart fridge

Their unbelievably poorly-designed icemakers are already a reason I'll never buy another Samsung fridge. Now this? Yikes.

Samsung does make really great ad-free computer displays... that's as much as I'm willing to buy from them.

It is kinda ridiculous to see this written "add-free computer display".

They’ve been doing this for years. The Galaxy S III (yes three) shipped with an indelible Pizza Hut bookmark.

Are there any other fridge brands up to such nonsense? About to buy one.

Guessing anything without screen is reasonably safe

"You're going to have to PI-hole your refrigerator" wasn't on my 2025 bingo card.

I actually checked the date to see if we were April first. Turns out it's pretty far away!
