Yeah, there's no way I'm buying an internet connected fridge with a giant screen.

Sammobile apparently has 1660 "partners", the fuck?

Don't buy dumb smart home devices or you get exactly what you deserve.

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.

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.
