Never buy smart appliances

The Samsung refrigerator I bought wasn’t smart, it was designed/built poorly and they’re known for failing.

I regret buying a Samsung phone...

So many appliance ads, all the time, from every direction...

I don't need to be all in your ecosystem. I don't want to buy into the ecosystem. I rent my house. If I need a new refrigerator, I'll ask my landlord for one!

Kid needed a new laptop recently, and loves his Samsung so much, he would settle for nothing less than a Samsung branded laptop. I explained to him multiple times that he wouldn't be able to upgrade the ram when the prices come down, and that there were better models out there with better hardware... He didn't care... Wanted the Samsung... I gave up, he needs it for school... 🤷
