Samsung confirms its $1,800+ fridges will display ads.

Samsung is rolling out a software update to its Family Hub refrigerators in the US, adding promotions and advertisements to the idle display.

Other examples of "pay to unlock" are

BMW ConnectedDrive: Some models have hardware for features like heated seats or high-beam assist; pay a subscription to unlock them via app.

HP Instant Ink Printers: Printer hardware is affordable, but pay a subscription to unlock unlimited printing (ink is auto-shipped based on usage).

DJI Drones (e.g., Mavic series): Base drone is purchasable, but pay to unlock advanced flight modes or payload features via software updates.

Based on recent surveys, the average American adult spends about $90 per month (or $1,080 annually) on subscription services, many of which involve pay-to-unlock models for premium features, content, or capabilities in tech apps, software, and services.

Why not going back to the old and good fridges without all that stuff? I like technology, but come on, having internet everywhere?
