Why. Why would anyone buy a fridge with a screen. We have lots of screens. A fridge does not need a screen. It is a fridge.

As a Home Assistant geek, I would love to have a tablet built into the fridge door that I could 100% hack to display useful information and such. Currently I have an Android tablet on the wall that does this, but one on the screen could be cool, especially if you could setup a place for virtual sticky notes that you could leave reminders and such for family members.

So a whiteboard with dry erase markers?

And a clock, and a weather forecast, and a picture frame…

A screen has a lot of potential. But not if it works against your interests

So for a clock and picture frame you’re not gunna believe this but…

And for a weather forecast I mean just make a widget on your phone’s home screen, it’ll be fine. The techification of every damn fucking thing we have is ridiculous and we so happily dive into filling our lives with nonsense just to have a theoretical 1% improvement in efficiency that we don’t even need.

I’m not saying we need to throw out all technology but we also don’t need to jam modern tech into every single aspect of our lives.
