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.

    A NE555 runs out of sync very fast, so it is not that usable as a clock long term. If you want that you would need further components you don't need for a paduk MCU which is like 3 cents
