A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

A software update rolling out to Samsung’s Family Hub refrigerators in the US is putting ads on the fridges for the first time. The “promotions and curated advertisements” are coming despite Samsung insisting to The Verge in April that it had “no plans” to do so.

Here's how we fix a society that's already drowning in advertising .. more advertising.

Russell Howcroft would think that this was the Duck's Nuts!

I swear sometimes that at this point all we produce as a country is ads. People in marketing mock their customers (source: was in marketing to make better wages than journalism for less than a year) and think they're doing the lord's work because of their salaries.
