IMHO, people who buy smart fridges from Samsung deserve this shit.
It's extremelly hard to get a TV which isn't smart nowadays, but that's not the case (yet) for fridges.
yep.
Samsung has got to be the worst, most piece of shit manufacturer of appliances.
Literally ever. single. person. I know that has foolishly bought a samsung appliance, has gone on to very loudly regret it. The worst story I know, is someone who bought a samsung dishwasher and had to have a repair guy out at least once a month to fix whatever fresh hell was wrong with it, on samsungs dime thanks to warranty, before samsung said fuck it and just refunded them because it was cheaper than having what was almost a 24 hour on call service man for their house.
Samsung made their name on phones, and people assumed everything else would be just as good (when in fact even their phones are kinda shit now)
I have a Samsung tablet which I bought years ago. It's was full of unremovable useless software and after a maybe 4 year of updates it was unusable because each version just took more and more space to the point that eventually it would fit maybe 2 or 3 applications on top of what came with it and nothing more.
To give it new life I had to install a non-official version of LineageOS compile by some random guy which has problems and will even crash once in a while, and even then it's better than using the original Samsung version of Android in it.
More recent Samsung tablets and phones can't even be bootloader unlocked to install an alternative to the Android they ship.
I'm not interest in from companies whose products are are activelly managed to force customers to buy replacements for perfectly good hardware.
