Comment on Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads.
panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 week agoIn theory it would be cool to track inventory automatically for restocking, and you could have an app where owner can pay things to the fridge for the rest of the family to see.
In practice nobody would use that app, whiteboards are more fun, and it would never be able to tell what’s in containers of leftovers.

I remember back when YouTube just started showing ads. I knew they had ads for a few months, but i have never seen one. One night i was watching something on YouTube with my roommate, and an ad showed up. It was about a barcode scanner. They showed why you need a barcode scanner. They kept showing the uses of the barcode scanner. Put a barcode on your garbage bin, so you can scan it and scan what you threw away, so you know. We never skipped it and the ad just kept going. It was super weird, and it reminds me of a Tim Heidecker sketch, where you wait until they run out of ideas for barcode scanner uses, but they never did. Not for a second have i thought about buying one while watching this 45 min commercial, and i think people are delusional when they think they track their groceries with their smart fridge like that.
Unless they are like turbo autistic, then more power to them.

The fridge would have to passively scan stuff but it would feel weird spying on groceries like that to me
