      There were still many flat surfaces in the world that did not yet have advertisements displayed on them.

        Because they did it on every other item they sell with a screen and internet connection.

        It’s nitnjustbthatbthey show ads, it’s that they track you and show you ads based on that data.

        It’s an internet connected appliance with a screen, made by samsung. If you follow the right kinds of news, that combination should send shivers down your spine.

        Edit: l’ll just say I don’t think the question was so dumb it should downvoted to hell.

          Even if it weren’t a samsung, i would always expect a screen to show ads. That’s all they want to do, show ads everywhere as much as they can.

        Because Samsung has done this to literally every one of their other products, even ones without screens, and only apps, like Samsung SmartThings and their washers and dryers.

        We’ve been paying attention?

        Or to put it more nicely: no one finds this side of the fediverse without feeling at least a little burned by corporations.

        Edit: to be clear I never meant it as rude, just a little sarcastic.

        They make fridges, which typically sit in a room until it decides to die. Shareholders got pissy the enormous bill for ecs doesn’t have the correct permissions
