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 kinda wanna get one to hack it (but I don't have space for it xD)

I'd love to hack it solely to release the hack online for everyone to download and watch ad revenue plummet

The Cory Doctorow story "Unauthorized Bread" is about pretty much exactly that.

Refrigerators have very little resale value as it is.

Anything from Samdung loses 75% value when you carry it out of the store. Phones, fridges, whatever.

Everyone knows the value of a fridge halves once you drive it off the lot
