Here’s how to opt out.

Cool, they’re giving me a free $2,000 fridge? Because there’s no way I’d have that fridge otherwise.
There’s a future coming where every fridge sold will come with a screen for ads, and not necessarily any other smart features.
Once people accept this shit, there’s no going back.
and that future will include me ripping out the network connection cards from the primary boards.
if that bricks it, I’ll just have to setup an “internet” connection.
I sure hope not, it’s hard enough to find nonsucking TVs, I really don’t want to have to find an “industrial” fridge just to get a regular one.
I can totally see it going the same general way as TVs.
If it has a screen, theyll put ads on it. If it doesn’t have a screen, they’ll add a screen, then put ads on it.
I would pry the screen off and dig out the WIFI device if it came down to no other option.
