  That’s fair

  The issue here isn’t smart appliances. It is Samsung being a jerk.

    I can see genuine reason for a fridge to be smart.
    Check what’s in whilst shopping, automatic recipe suggestions, notifications for product potentially going out of date…
    All of that would be nice, if fully automated, but that would require a ton of cameras and sensors, and frankly doesn’t seem worth it yet for the prices that would yield, even assuming the integration is good and offers local-only option (for proxying or vpns).
