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

    I would love a monitor on my fridge (it’d be better than most of the dusty old shit on mine right now. ) But I would want to have complete control of the hardware attached to that screen

    I hope a DIY mod community springs up to help people take back the machines they own.

      Yeah a small screen showing time, day, weather, moon phase, sunrise/set, moonrise/set and daily/weekly schedule would be awesome. I have friends who keep a weekly meal/social schedule on their fridge and when I was staying with them mid move it was really convenient to have what’s going on so prominently displayed

      I haven’t been able to get home assistant working but I imagine it has something for home displays like that with a fair amount of customizability

      Ads and the news are two things I absolutely don’t want on my refrigerator. This is a large eye level object in the room that days begin in. They’re putting ads there because they know its a really convenient place to display useful information.
