Reddit’s “r/technology” feed this morning:
FFS. I go to their tech feed to escape from every other post being about American politics.

I’ve been getting ICE ads in my feed. Maybe I should join up!

Same shit with my Northern Virginia sub…it’s full of politics. I just want to know where the good restaurants are.

I feel like I’d be playing that shit for all it’s worth.
“Yeah, so I made a break through on the new flux capacitor design but I’m not quite there yet. I can’t stop thinking about how you won’t let me give you anal.”

Samsung makes ads on $3,499 smart fridges official with upcoming software update
Update introduces two ways for the fridges to show ads.
I had to ask AI what a smart fridge even does beyond cooling your food. Aside from having a screen for photos and watching vids on the door (stuff you could just do on your ipad), it said smart fridges have:
- Interior cameras so you can check what’s inside while at the grocery store
- Inventory tracking and expiration date reminders
- Integration with your phone for shopping lists
- Temperature controls you can adjust remotely
I maybe adjust the temperature twice in the lifetime of the fridge so the last one sounds useless to me and, if it really was a smart fridge, shouldn’t it be able to do it itself? And the other shit sounds like it would be hella flaky and unreliable.

Not to mention hackable and so stuff destroyed, lists monkeyed with, doxing what’s in your fridge etc.
They were pushing that crap at the computer show I went to in the era of Newton handhelds and DEC Alpha, first time I laid eyes on a Linux machine. Useless shit I didn’t want then or now.

Ya had to be the Comdex or CES 1995. Sony DVD intro, a bunch of sad Apple nuts whaling on their Newtons, Allied General on display, Citrix in its original form- and Novell had the smart refrigerator display. Annnnnnyday now.

How can grammar be aggressive, or even sexual? You mind is in the gutter!
Besides, I said “dangling”, not “erect”! Do I need to post a screenshot?
