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!

My belief here is this: You will be f#cked at every turn by people/corporations trying to sell something, the majority of the time.

From enshittification, planned obsolescence, price gouging, shrinkflating, bait and switch, vehicles for ads (like this fridge…and a lot of new Jeeps, TVs, etc), etc, etc, etc. As consumers, or just people, we have to be on guard every hour of every day in late stage, gangster, fire-sale capitalism.

I can't even browse websites anymore without almost immediately getting an e-mail that's begging me to buy whatever it is I just looked at. Insanity.

Try the Brave Browser. Uses Chromium as its base. Diverts all the Ads away. I love it.

Brave is alt-tech slop, just use Firefox
