Some Samsung smart fridges stopped working on Tuesday due to a firmware update.

Korean outlets were the first to report the problems, which affect Samsung’s Bespoke AI line of fridges. Star News Korea, per a Google-provided translation, said that most of the affected devices were four-door fridges from 2024 or later.

I wonder how many microphones they put in those smart fridges?

I seriously doubt these fridges need to have any of that firmware added.

The world running on Mega Man Battle Network logic is just as bad of an idea as I thought it was when I played those games as an 11 year old.

And this is why the only Samsung products I have are RAM and SSDs.

And the SSDs are backed up daily.

Samsung should not have gotten into appliances. They seem to be singularly terrible in that field. No-one else comes even close to their incompetence.

Oh man, maybe people should stop buying these. I bet they totally won’t though.

Why would a "smart" fridge even have an option to not refrigerate?
