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.

Remember when there was just a little dial in the top of the fridge, that you turn, from "cold" to "colder"? Yeah. That's really all that's required. Fancier fridges had more than one dial, that controlled individual compartments, like your crisper drawers.

    I'm pretty sure technology connections has spent an hour explaining why that's sub-optimal while also explaining the refrigerant cycle for the 10th time.
