The backlash from this doesn’t show up on a spreadsheet so here we go!

The idea of paying for a $2k fridge that has a $30* android board running a large screen is just absurd to me. Not only was this kind of enshittification almost a given, but we all know how well manufacturers update devices like this. Security issues aside, you just know that the software is going to slowly rot (Think: Widget to show tweets before Twitter closed the API down).

If you feel so inclined to have a touch screen on your fridge then you'd be better off getting some random tablet and sticking it to the fridge.

I _love_ my home automation/smart house devices but I wouldn't touch one of these with a 10ft pole.

* That might be a bit high

In my opinion it is plain fraud: intentional deception to deprive a victim of a legal right or to gain from a victim unlawfully or unfairly.

Way to punish your customers for paying you more.

I know it's a trope, but this is the absolute textbook definition of enshittification.

FYI: Out of curiosity, just googled it

"No, Samsung fridges do not run on webOS; they use Samsung's own Tizen operating system. LG is the brand that uses webOS in its smart refrigerators. "
