I bring Samsung Fridges to the Recycling center.

Why, WHY would you allow anything like this access to any network EVER?

Probably bitches and moans constantly if it's not connected. Not many people are going to spin up a dedicated wifi network with access to nothing just so their fridge would stfu.

I would, but then I wouldn't buy a smart fridge in the first place.

About this sub

This is for all that connected crap you see that makes you go why? Bluetooth connected egg trays, dishwashers with internet connectivity, every device that could happily run locally but requires a back-end server to even turn on. All of that goes here so we can make fun of it.

This sub is for the hardware and software of the Internet that doesn't need to be of the Internet. It's the "standby" light on your device that otherwise doesn't even need to be plugged in.
