The Samsung FamilyHub fridge does indeed basically have an overgrown tablet duct taped to the door. It runs Samsung’s Tizen operating system, which you may recall was at one point going to be the Next Big Thing and a competitor to Android and iOS. Obviously that didn’t happen, so now it’s relegated to refrigerators.
Honestly, my theory is that Samsung is just pulling a sunk cost fallacy move and was desperate to put Tizen in something – anything – to justify its development.
It’s terrible. All the hardware is also located inside the upper right door, and it dumps all of its waste heat out the back of the door into the refrigerator compartment. The design is breathtakingly stupid.
And here I thought their shitty TVs were breathtakingly stupid and over complicated (seriously there are like 6 different fucking menu screens in different places, and best of luck remembering which one you need for something stupid simple like sleep timer…)
Then again, I’ve been avoiding Samsung since the tv incident 10 years ago… apparently for the best…
