    This is one instance where I've no sympathy for the consumer. You buy a fridge to keep things cold—not watch videos or have the fridge connect to the internet.

    What on earth would possess anyone to buy an AI/screen based fridge in the first place? Screen addiction must be worse than I'd realized.

      You say that, but I have been trying to find a non-smart TV for months, Consumers don't always have much choice.

        Refrigerators aren't (yet, anyway) one of those appliances where there's no choice.

    And this is why the only Samsung products I have are RAM and SSDs.

    And the SSDs are backed up daily.

    Samsung should not have gotten into appliances. They seem to be singularly terrible in that field. No-one else comes even close to their level of incompetence.

      They've been making refrigerators since 1974, far longer than they've been making RAM and SSDs.
