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.

I could see a use for a screen on my fridge. Display my daily calendar, weather (I have a MagicMirror in my kitchen for this, but putting on the fridge would save space). However it needs to be for me, not for someone else.

There’s the problem. Ads are for the benefit of others.
