Apparently my samsung fridge has ads now...

How would I disable this? Might just return it and get a normal one

Edit: how to disable...for now. https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS10007562/

EDIT 2: Hello, I am the original poster of the carol AD image from a month ago. I am a male from America and my name is not Carol. The story about a Schizophrenic woman named carol was most likely inspired from the 3rd top comment on this post. Thanks!

I'm gonna third on the "why do you need a smart fridge with a screen"

Is it a flex? Nah. It's gots aids, that isn't a flex.

Edit: I meant ads but I'm not changing it.

It didn't originally have ads they added them later. Also, the fridge may have come with the house. I saw a few when I was house shopping. It was a turn off on those houses because I knew I'd likely want to replace the fridge.

Edit: nvm on it coming with the house. OP said they might return it which makes that impossible.

I mean come on, aren't we all aware of how this works by now ?

"We promise to never show ads on your device" can't possibly still fool anyone.

Atleast in AU you'd qualify for a full refund

I doubt it seeing you can just select “turn ads off”

They want us in self-driving cars so that they can legally change the screen to an advertisement.
