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

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.
