@isaackuo@spacey.space @shonin@c.im A modern refrigerator only needs a few transistors and a thermistor or two to function (a bimetallic thermostat will do in a pinch). Throw in a 7-segment LED for temperature readout, sure. Even advanced features like timed replacement cycles for a water filter only need a 50-cent microcontroller. Touch screen displays, network connectivity, and AI functions all represent failures to ask "Should we do this?" at best, and privacy invasion by design at worst.
