Some Samsung smart fridges stopped working on Tuesday due to a firmware update.

Korean outlets were the first to report the problems, which affect Samsung’s Bespoke AI line of fridges. Star News Korea, per a Google-provided translation, said that most of the affected devices were four-door fridges from 2024 or later.

I think we probably do have the tech to track what's in the fridge but we'd need a camera and some kind of ai watching it always...

    Image recognition will be able to figure out the obvious items, and hopefully the expiration dates, too, but it's not going to be able to figure out that opaque containers are nearly empty or identify leftovers in tupperware. It's also probably going to be unable to identify when loose produce is past its best unless it's extremely rotten.
