I've never wanted a smart fridge before now
I've never wanted a smart fridge before now
Samsung fridges and appliances are shit
35Here's a screen but the ice maker still won't work over 1% humidity!
28Oh yeah also about that screen, we're going to ship an update that breaks the digitizer so that you can't use the touch screen any more!

and phones can do that better anyway, i dont know why we need fancy huge touchscreens integrated to fridges of all things.

To each their own and I’m not for challenge technology ..but that Seems like a lot of pressure to yourself just to be able to open the fridge

Can you play Doom on it though?
10Depends on your definition of "run". Here's someone that sideloaded the Xbox cloud app to run doom eternal on it (streamed from the cloud).

On the other hand, these devices are most often just running Android. So you probably can install Doom on them. In case it's not in the app store of the device, you could just grab an apk like this and sideload it

I’m gonna. Amp out here to see if there’s a good fridge maker out there still.
Samsung, whirlpool, lg, and ge all seem to be crossed off.4Bosch & kitchenaid are the two "affordable" I still trust.
Thermador, sub-zero & wolf are the not-affordable that I'll always trust.
9Sub-Zero and Wolf are the same company. Thermador and Bosch are owned by the same parent company.
KitchenAid got bought out by Whirlpool, so its trustworthiness is probably on the decline.
Anecdote time:
When I bought my house a decade and a half ago, I bought a brand-new Whirlpool dishwasher and Samsung washer and dryer pair. All three failed within a decade. (The Samsung washer in particular was egregious: when I took it apart every piece of it was pristine except for the "spider arm," which was corroded as fuck because they obviously designed it to do so by deliberately making it out of a different metal than everything else.)
I replaced each of them with used Bosch appliances that I got for cheap (or in one case, free), and they're all still going strong.

My maytag has been good so far (~8 years)
2Supposedly the current generation of LG fridges are good. The appliance repair folks have said repair rates on those are very low. Remains to be seen if that holds long term.
I rolled the dice. Between the lawsuits they lost over the previous generation and warranty substantially longer than others on the market, along with nabbing one on sale for stupid cheap, I figured it was worth the shot.
So far so good anyway.
