It could be really useful. I would love to have the weather and maybe a to do list on the fridge.

The problem is when companies reach there hand into the software. I want to have full control of a smart appliance.

Get a magnetic case for a tablet and stick it to the fridge. If it starts showing ads, you can take it off, put it through the wood chipper and the fridge will still work fine.

  Why would I need to do that?
  
  I think it is reasonable for me to expect that the high end fridge I bought and paid for will not turn against me. It is crazy what these companies get away with.

    Even if the smart fridge doesn’t become enshittified, the smart features will likely become obsolete long before the fridge its self is worn out. Just try using a phone or tablet that’s 10-15 years old. It probably won’t be able to open an https website, let alone install new apps.

    anyone paying $25K for a fridge doesn’t work for a living anyway.

    I don’t think it is unreasonable to use a tech product for 10 years
    
    The tech industry sucks

You have one of those in your pocket at all times…. We really did this to ourselves.
