I remember reading a story on legal advice who bought a "smart fridge" that had a screen on the fridge doors.
But the screen kept displaying all these unwanted pop-up ads anytime he tried to get his fridge to do fridge stuff.
Why does a smart fridge need to exist? Why does a fridge need a screen/monitor or to connect to the internet?
All I need is a basic fridge that keeps my food cold.
I don't have any smart appliances...but if I did, I wouldn't connect them either. I'm smart enough to operate appliances manually.
