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 just recently moved house, had to buy a fridge freezer for the first time, I went with the cheapest, dumbest Beko fridge they had, because all I want it to do is keep food cold. The delivery/installation man said that these models last for years and years, whereas the smart ones barely last 4, in his experience. He said he's constantly replacing smart fridges, but the dumb ones are usually ancient when they get replaced. Happy with my decision there.
