To be more accurate, the ads only appear in specific cases where idiots were dumb enough to buy a fridge with a screen.
Fresh dystopian hell from Samsung fridges with ads.

after seeing pluribus that ad has a whole new meaning
humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Ads are shitty.
Ads on fridge are insanely shitty.
That particular ad is good as ads go.
The product advertised is amazing.
tl;dr: Samsung bad, ad agency good, show great.

Is it really good? I like Rhea Seehorn but the synopsis seemed meh to me. Might give it a go.

People need to start using technology to improve their life and society. Stop using Windows, Google, Apple, download an adblocker, and don’t buy into tech consumerism like “smart fridges.” All I would want to know in a fridge that would be “smart” is like the temperature? and I wouldn’t sacrifice my time or attention by buying something which forces ads.

Okay that one single ad about Pluribus is quite funny, especially being displayed on a fridge, but other than that, it’s NO.

Rossmann has a take on this (and several on DRM and similar).

thats what a nailgun and particle board is for.
humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Or just don’t give your fridge wifi access. Then the fridge still at least works as a fridge.
HotsauceHurricane@lemmy.world 1 month ago
True.

The things Samsung has to resort to, to be able to afford ram for its phones after Samsung cut Samsung off from it’s supply.

“Sorry we upset you”? What did it pick up on for it to say that?
faercol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
It’s an ad for the tv show Pluribus. It’s basically a quote from the show.

Come on it’s the 21st century where is your refrigerator electromagnet? Looks like it is very needed.

That comma is unnecessary and introduces ambiguity to the sentence, which is the opposite of what commas are supposed to do.
For example, who is the dumbass?:
Have a good weekend dumbass!
Have a good week, dumbass!
Have a good week, Dumbass!
Who is Carol?!? The addressed, or the addressee? (I’m not actually an English expert so may be wildly incorrect)
humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 1 month ago
You’re wildly incorrect, according to every major style guide.
If you’re critiquing widely accepted rules of English grammar, your critique may be valid.
solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Honestly I’m not sure if I’m critiquing widely accepted English grammar because it seems kinda like the serial comma (some use, some don’t), but I don’t know the name for it.
The NY Times piece on commas doesn’t cite any sources and gives examples with and without based on Byzantine rules I highly doubt anyone follows, and the OWL doesn’t seem to cover this specifically.
So… any idea what this particular type of comma is called that I’m wrong about but would like to persuade others that I should be right?

I would merely hate this and curse the manufacturer. But I know that if it were in my house, my kids, with their raw, unhardened minds, would find it irresistible. The slogans would worm their way into their everyday speech. They would talk about new ads over breakfast. They just don’t have the filters we adults have. So I’m so fucking glad I don’t have anything like this. It’s beyond mildly infuriating to truly insidious.

LOL we got the version with no ice dispenser and the window that you knock to turn a light on…and ignorance is bliss… The fridge’s ignorance in this case. Just be a fridge and cool shit down. That’s all we’re asking for.

I don’t really understand the appeal of a smart fridge. Unless it’s going to tell me what groceries to buy, I don’t really need an iPad on my fridge.
In any case, this was all inevitable. Technology has produced a socially acceptable way for corporations to spy on their customers. They’ve been doing that for years. Now they’re putting what they’ve learned to use, so they can sell you more shit and maximize the profit potential per customer.
Maximizing profit isn’t new or is it news of any kind, that’s literally the entire reason corporations exist. There have been entire lawsuits about it. CEOs, sometimes want to reinvest in their workers and use profits to upgrade facilities and give out raises, only to be sued by their shareholders… The shareholders won by the way.
This is necessary for them. Anyone who acts contrary to maximizing shareholder value is either sued, removed, or otherwise taken out of a position where they can have any effect.
Any publicly traded company, especially multi-National and international companies, are basically slaves to this kind of enshittification.
The system is working as designed.
