Samsung is rolling out an update to its refrigerators with displays that will enable them to show advertisements.

When I used to work at Home Depot, selling appliances, I would absolutely refuse to sell anyone anything from Samsung.

They make absolutely terrible and extremely expensive overpriced appliances which are guaranteed to break within three years.

Show me an ad in my own kitchen and that screen is going to be broken.

I moved to Germany. It's been an experience because the tech status dialed back about 15 years. One area I don't miss is the ever pervasive drive to have screens with ads on every surface.

Enshittification, in my kitchen?!

You have to be pretty naive to not have seen this one coming from a mile off. But hey, at least people can see what's in their fridge without having to open the door, what a luxury.

Samsung makes shit appliances that are particularly non-repairable anyway.

[–] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 14 points 3 days ago

Yeah, there's no way I'm buying an internet connected fridge with a giant screen.

Sammobile apparently has 1660 "partners", the fuck?

The good news is that it's going to break soon anyway and you'll have to buy another. Maybe try one without a screen on it.
