Not even your kitchen is safe from ads after Samsung's new update for its refrigerators (www.androidauthority.com)

Imagine paying top dollar for a brand-new high-end refrigerator only to be greeted with ads on the door display. Sounds like a nightmare? Unfortunately, this nightmare is coming true for Samsung refrigerator owners with the latest update rolling out to their fridges.

On the upside, the things only work for a couple of years, so if you made the mistake of buying one of these stupid things, you'll have the opportunity to upgrade to a dumb fridge soon!

man shit like this makes me glad that my state has a forced warranty on purchases. If my fridge failed after 2 years if I didn't have that protection I would be livid.

I'm surprised they can still sell fridges. They have long had a terrible quality reputation, but still people keep buying them.
