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.

So this reinforcers my policy of not buying Samsung. They really do just retroactively add ads to every product with a screen.
I don't mind smart products, though I'm not sure what problem is solved by a screen on a fridge. That said, I do hate it when these devices need to rely on the cloud to function, and Ads I can't tolerate--I usually try to block the DNS address for things that like to spy on me or show me ads.
This sort of stuff damages the Samsung as a brand. It makes me unlikely to consider Samsung for other products like TVs.
Hahaha. Who would pay so much for a smart fridge. In the words of Gilfoyle, all it needs to do is keep my fucking beer cold.
Well, with ads it will likely become cheaper than dumb fridges, which will lock in more and more customers until the sudden subscription service hits and everyone have to agree and pay up or buy a new fridge altogether. This isn't the first, second nor third time this has happened.
