French Canadian here - I remember my mom loving these glasses, back in the 70s-80s. We still use some of them 50 years later. They last for decades.


Apparently, you can turn off ads quite simply.

* How to turn off ads on your Family Hub The widget will appear by default on the fridges as part of the software update. However, Samsung is giving users the option to turn off ads. To do this, go to the Settings page on the fridge, scroll to Advertisements, select it, and you’ll be taken to a screen where you can toggle off ads.

This will remove the widget entirely. If you think you might actually like the widget’s other features (calendar, weather, and news), you can “X” out a particular ad, and it won’t pop up again. But then you’ll get another ad.


That button will soon become "Show fewer ads" if it doesn't just get removed at all.

Just like how Youtube won't let you switch off Shorts, but will let you click "Show fewer" which lasts for a few weeks.


Samsung marketplace on the phone used to have this- now it's just 'don't show this again today' button.


I wonder how many ads are coming down the pipeline; can I remove all of them if I sit in front of my fridge for 15 minutes?


Cmon. You know better than that.


The simplest way is to not connect a refrigerator to the internet.


For now.


I would call that flow "complex." So, I disagree with you.

Simple would be for the "X" button to offer to turn off Ads completely, do you disagree?

(Disclaimer: I'm a pro / lifelong tech and both are "simple" to me. And to clarify my opinion, my Mom, who is a pro musician, would NOT discover / know how to find that option.)


Still hiring every other months in my company. Hard to find real talented developers. My guest : most of them are already employed. This article does not reflect my reality at all.


Still playing GTA IV. Hope they'll take more time for GTA VI.


This is a cultural thing, I think. I'm proud to work more hours than my boss expects. My relative never brag about the number of days off they have, but will quickly tell you that they only took one week off last year. The expected reaction is: wow, you're a great worker.


Looking at your login, you probably gone through a lot more before cgi-bin. Nice.


Yep, I've seen a few things :)


I really like the Amazon Prime model: author are payed depending on the number of pages read. They get something like $4 to $5 per 1000 pages read.


Amusing, never heard of it. And quite honest IMO.


I often take a lot of time to write a comment. I think, I research, I change a word, remove a paragraph, move phrases around. And then, often, I just don't post it.

The reason I do this: It makes me think.


I think I'm the average Amazon customer. If I buy something cheap and it breaks or doesn't work as expected, I just throw it away. If it's expensive, then I ask for a return, but I really take care to return it as new. If I command something and change my mind afterward, I just keep it and take it as a lesson.


Not on topic but a little rant about dark themes. After years of reading code displayed in dark mode on a white page (high contrast), I still wonder why. It's really hard to see, at least for me. Most of the time, I end up selecting the whole piece of code to have white text on a black background - it's not as good as black text on a white background, but it's much better than dark blue or dark red on a black background.

This interesting article uses dark red for operators (".", "=", "<", etc.). This is one of the worst choices. On a dark background, please do not use dark color.
