If I’m not getting paid for the advertisements on my property then you are essentially stealing from me

Take a baseball bat to that piece of shit and stop buying terrible “smart” appliances. I know in some cases it’s getting quite hard (fucking TVs) but for a fridge? Come on now.

If I were dumb enough to own one of these pieces of shit, that screen would see constant need for repair under warranty.

“Sorry, the darned thing fractured spontaneously again. Seems to happen every time something I paid for shows me an unsolicited advertisement. I guess the fact the some dickhead would do that to their customers shocked me so much that I tripped and hit the screen with my fist by accident. As it made my knuckles bleed, I’ll have to sue you pricks for damages.”

My personal take is that if I’m forced to see ads like this, I’m boycotting the company.

To be fair I use a lot of ad blocking so if I see ads they’re trying extra hard.

I wouldn’t download a smart fridge tho’

I look forward to our future where these companies incentivize landlords with a slice of the pie to install ad laden versions of every appliance. What a utopia we live in!

I’m guessing that if you set your DNS to AdGuard a lot of this nonsense would go away.

Another alternative is to remove the internet access from your fridge.
