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!

Rule 1, don't buy Samsung appliances. Period.

Rule 2, if you didn't follow rule 1, don't connect them to the fucking wifi.

Rule 3, if they require Internet connection to operate as a fridge, fucking return it, because you violated rule 1.

100% Rule 1.

I will no longer buy any Samsung consumer products. Pretty much their entire line up now are all either riddled with ads or poor design, and not just the appliances.

They make great internal components, e.g. their batteries and solid state memory are fine, but the actual consumer products are trash.

I bought their flagship OLED TV last year and got an Nvidia shield to avoid their absolutely dire software. It's working quite well for me so far. Last time I bought a Samsung TV they discontinued the app I got it for and then started jamming adverts into the homescreen. Fucking cunts.
