MODERATORS
Well, bad news fridges still won't last long and it has nothing to do with Ai or smart features. The industry has downsized the cooling systems for efficiency and environmental factors while making things quieter. The result is higher duty cycles and insulated system compartments generally leading to shorter compressor lifespan.
But yes, I generally agree. I'm not a smart device customer.
