    Not a “smart” fridge per se, but I can see the use of a screen on my fridge; something where we can see our family calendar, leave notes for each other, and maybe also be able to access the grocery shopping list. Weather would be nice too, though you can keep the news widget (yikes). Something in a visible location in our house, where we go every day.

    I’m not sure what other features they advertise with a smart fridge, but those few would be nice; especially if I could just plug a raspberry pi into it and skip all of the Samsung nonsense entirely.

      I don’t even like water/ice dispensers on the door. I love the interior water dispensers.

        We’re a family of six, and the kids don’t have phones. It’s tough to coordinate schedules already and it’s only going to get worse.

        I recognize that I’m an edge case.

          You’re not an edge case. My family isn’t that large but we still have challenges with this exact thing.

          There’s a screen device that my wife gets incessantly advertised to her that is probably a better option than it being built into a fridge that has been engineered to last 3 weeks longer than the warranty.
