    I was ready gawk at what ads on my fridge would look like, and then this. I don’t know what I expected.

    Here’s what they look like on my fridge:

    I would not buy appliances with ads,
    I would not buy them, Sam-I-Am.

      That’s the main issue here. This fridge didn’t show ads when people bought it.
      So buying things that don’t show ads isn’t enough. You need to only buy things that don’t get updates.

        Yeah, that just makes this so sinister.

        What I mean is that my fridge doesn’t have a screen. So if Panasonic decided to show me ads on a fridge where the most complicated feature is the ice maker, that would be a neat trick.

          Receives a letter at home from Panasonic containing a message, a color printed sheet and a fridge magnet.

          Message reads: “Dear costumer, please use enclosed fridge magnet to hang provided advert sheet on your Panasonic refrigerator”

            Funny you say that, in Japan it’s common to get business magnets in your junk mail. Stuff like cleaners, in-home therapy, etc.

    Opt out is idiotic. Don’t buy this shit! You to not own it. What fuckwit dumbass rents a fridge someone else controls for $2k. I bet it has a camera inside to sell grocers a list of what to mark up for your custom pricing nonsense because you bought a billboard that screams I’m a gullible moron with more money than sense.

    Can’t believe the number of tool boxes in this comment section say “oh gee, I can really see how this unnecessary feature improves my life because I don’t know how to breathe on my own or live”

    I would like to know why anyone would go out and buy a smart fridge. What amazing feature does it have that you cannot be without? I seriously don’t get it.

      Nothing needs to be, but I do like to monitor door status and temperature for my fridge and deep freezers with home assistant.

    Why. Why would anyone buy a fridge with a screen. We have lots of screens. A fridge does not need a screen. It is a fridge.
