Does this mean no smart fridges?
Coz that would be cool
i'd be willing to suffer another year of ram shortage if that meant all smart devices fucked off
maybe we could even see actual physical buttons on devices again! i miss buttons and toggles

You think companies would cut off ad revenue and pass cost savings to customers?
Fridges will get MORE expensive to ensure that you see ads on your fridge.
No, it means your smart fridge be AI enabled and you'll have to prompt the goddamn door open.
Also, it costs $3000 and it's the cheapest model.
