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

    Shopping list, digital post it notes, etc.

    People have been sticking important things into fridge doors since there are fridges.

      You carry a phone that supports these features in your pocket. Fridges don’t need screens imho

          So how are you gonna access the shopping list on the fridge when you are in the store (without using cloud services)? Taking a screenshot of sticky notes on the fridge works as good as taking a screenshot of the fridge screen. So in both cloud connected and not clod connected scenarios, the fridge screen is not needed and functions as a gimmick.

        Blah blah blah, I don’t like the form factor so it’s unneeded. You people are insufferable.

        Guess what, it is easier to look directly forward on an always on screen that’s going to have a common display like a family calendar of events for that day while I’m preparing my family for the day. I don’t have to find and unlock my phone, I don’t have to wash my hands and open up a calendar app. It’s right there, front and center, where it needs to be for the task.

        Not everyone has their reflection burned into the screen holding them all day. Some people actually leave them in other rooms!
