> Samsung fridge owners can also opt to avoid the latest software update altogether. However, they would miss out on other features included in the software update, such as a UI refresh and the ability for the internal camera inside some fridges to identify more fruits and vegetables inside the fridge.
The level of absurdity here with respect to "miss[ing] out on other features" strains credulity.
Well, I wouldn't say I was missing them.
I don't know why I would connect a fridge to the Internet at all. Maybe there is a use case where you can get a picture of the contents of your fridge on your phone when you are out and about? Like you're at the grocery store and can't remember if you need to pick up milk or not?
I could come around to a fridge that keeps track of the contents, including use by dates, prompts me to throw away things that are going bad and adds replacements to a periodic supermarket order.
Buy the milk anyway, worst case so you’ve got 1L extra.
