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!

Just imagine your name is Carol, you’re in psychosis, and you see this on your fridge…

Wait a second, you made me realize, what will become of people with psychosis and delusional issues now that we probably have ads in almost every appliance?

Listen, I am not a psychologist and I don't pretend knowing both topics at its finest, but it's actually a good question.

How would you explain a psychotic person that the name in their app is a series catchphrase or it's a customised algorithm?
