Samsung Statement to Android Authority:
Samsung is committed to innovation and enhancing every day value for our home appliance customers. As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen that value, we are conducting a pilot program to offer promotions and curated advertisements on certain Samsung Family Hub refrigerator models in the U.S. market.
As a part of this pilot program, Family Hub refrigerators in the U.S. will receive an over-the-network (OTN) software update with Terms of Service (T&C) and Privacy Notice (PN). Advertising will appear on certain Family Hub refrigerator Cover Screens. The Cover Screen appears when a Family Hub screen is idle. Ad design format may change depending on Family Hub personalization options for the Cover Screen, and advertising will not appear when Cover Screen displays Art Mode or picture albums.
Advertisements can be dismissed on the Cover Screens where ads are shown, meaning that specific ads will not appear again during the campaign period.
Or maybe its your job to educate the masses! Go forth, noble knight. Spend your days shouting into the ignorant void
Thats the plan, though I think the void is starting to listen. The other option of do nothing is better in your eyes?
Im not doing nothing. Im laughing at them and enjoying myself quite a bit actually. Id be happy to teach them to degoogle and stuff when they make that decision, but it is not my job to convince them to do so. Its yours apparently
