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.

    My washing machine keeps asking to be connected to the WiFi. 2 years I’ve been ignoring it, which has been very convenient. I think it just wants to watch porn.

      So that’s what it means when it asks for a full load…

      I caught my mother’s dehumidifier connecting to WiFi to watch porn. The damn thing was actually dripping wet.

        Was it a dehumidifier by marriage? A step dehumidifier is quite the thing apparently.

          No, but it sits right next to a washing machine. I’m surprised it wasn’t stuck inside with its bottom sticking out.

      Imagine if you could make it watch advertising for your earnings… But yes, it would need the softwares belong to you, rather than to the washing machine’s maker…

        There are apps which basically do that.
