Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge
vodka@feddit.org 14 hours agoThe one smart feature I could see being nice is inventory tracking.
There’s some new regulation incoming in the EU where they’re doing QR codes on products with the price and also expiry date. A fridge that scans my milk carton as I put it in and then also knows the expiry date would be neat.
I don’t see this as something I could ever need, but for old people or people with various potential medical issues? Could have its use.
no I hate, and I mean hate smart speakers and all generative ai.
I would 100% be up for a fridge that keeps track of its contents’ expiry dates via qr and could display warnings when things are going off. I hate wasting food, especially animal products (I already feel guilty enough) so if my fridge said the smoked salmon had 3 days left I’d be into that. now, it retaining my data and sharing it with anyone would be a complete dealbreaker so
If it’s dead, it’s dead. Whether you eat it or not, it won’t change anything. The purchase kills the animal, not the consumption.
hm. Id see it differently. kill animal -> eat animal 👌
kill animal -> let its body rot in the refrigerator while my hungover ass orders thai food is the closest I get to calling something a sin. its a crime against ecology imo.
I get what youre saying though, I just definitely see it through a different lens
Sure, but let’s assume you want to eat x grams of animal products a week. You could either buy them and eat them, or buy them, have them expire, and then you have to re-buy them. The second one clearly sucks more.
Sure, that would indeed be a shame. But nobody is dependent on animal products unless there’s a medical reason.
The purchase kills the animal, not the consumption.
the animal is usually dead before someone walks into the grocery store
If I have to scan each item as I put it into the fridge, why not just scan it with my phone and keep a less expensive dumb fridge?
The LG concept one I saw that had this, just had enough cameras where there was no way you could put something in without it seeing the QR and scanning it automatically.

Pretty nice until the day inevitably comes where one of the RFID chips malfunctions and the fridge keeps insisting that you throw out something that isn’t there and you can’t reset the inventory without downloading an update from some company that doesn’t exist anymore using a profile that your ex has the password for.
Then you’ll wonder why you didn’t use to have these sorts of issues, and your kids will ask how you updated the fridge in your childhood. As an adult you are expected to know this stuff. With your authority being undermined like that they’ll stop listening to anything you say and start smoking crack after school. Now you have a malfunctioning fridge and junkie children. Thanks a lot, dad.

Fridge probably stop operating if it can’t show you ads. And if the company goes belly up they send a code that kills your fridge. Just like another companies have done.

I’m fine, thank you for your concern.
It is by all means a humourous shitpost. The last line in my post is a pun on the rap song 99 problems, which should be the give away.

It’s a QR code and not rfid.
I’m not saying this is for everyone, I’m saying that’s a feature that could be handy for certain use cases where people need such assistance in their life.
