    Pretty nice until the day inevitably comes where one of the RFID chips malfunctions and the fridge keeps insisting that you throw out something that isn’t there and you can’t reset the inventory without downloading an update from some company that doesn’t exist anymore using a profile that your ex has the password for.

    Then you’ll wonder why you didn’t use to have these sorts of issues, and your kids will ask how you updated the fridge in your childhood. As an adult you are expected to know this stuff. With your authority being undermined like that they’ll stop listening to anything you say and start smoking crack after school. Now you have a malfunctioning fridge and junkie children. Thanks a lot, dad.

    No thanks. I’ve got 99 problems, but a fridge ain’t one.

      It’s a QR code and not rfid.

      I’m not saying this is for everyone, I’m saying that’s a feature that could be handy for certain use cases where people need such assistance in their life.

      Fridge probably stop operating if it can’t show you ads. And if the company goes belly up they send a code that kills your fridge. Just like another companies have done.
