"Smart" fridges are the dumbest shit ever; given that, pi hole or some ad blocking DNS? Block access to Samsung servers?
Don't understand people who are willing to let all that data pass through 3rd party servers
But can it run Linux
It already does. Samsung's Tizen OS these things run is Linux based, albeit at this point broadly in the same sense that Android is.
Literally LOL'd when I saw the ad.
"fridge, I need a 12 pack of beer and two large pizzas". Uber eats shows up 45 minutes later. We're all doomed! Ha ha ha.
Never will I ever get an appliance that reports everything to the internet (advertisers) and forces ads into my home. Fuck them all, there is absolutely nothing they can offer that is worth the spying and intrusion.
Maybe we are all in the bad place.
The widget will appear by default on the fridges as part of the software update. However, Samsung is giving users the option to turn off ads. To do this, go to the Settings page on the fridge, scroll to Advertisements, select it, and you’ll be taken to a screen where you can toggle off ads.
This will remove the widget entirely. If you think you might actually like the widget’s other features (calendar, weather, and news), you can “X” out a particular ad, and it won’t pop up again. But then you’ll get another ad.
such bullshit
Pi-Hole?
in case someone only wants to use the block without setting up a server (& trusting others) https://fmhy.net/privacy#dns-adblocking
So it's a billboard with a build in beer cooler?
I'd sooner take a sledge hammer to it
I'm about to do that to my echo show
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
