    Meanwhile, my non-smart fridge continues to run just fine. Why do we need smart fridges? That was always a bad idea.

      Our fridge is a smart fridge, though it doesn't have a screen on it, AI in it or anything like that, and the smart fridge capabilities can be easily removed (it's a pluggable module).

      I like knowing if I (or someone visiting our house while we're gone) left one of the doors open or when it needs maintenance done on it.
