A fridge lifespan is measured in tens of years? That tablet on the door is deprecated in something like 5. Make it make sense (and I don't mean the capitalist sense of see ads and buy a new fridge everytime the tablet is done for)

    Modern fridges last less than 7 years.

    I like smart devices and IoT but I hate that for normal people this has been diluted down to cameras and screens on everything with no consideration about privacy or boundaries.

    Yes screens on fridges are stupid but... The display will definitely last more than 5 years. I'd even go so far as to say that it will last longer than the compressor of the fridge. Where do people get the idea that displays fail very easily?

    It’s not that the display will fail, it’s that the tablet that powers it will be hopelessly outdated in 5 years and likely not even receive security updates anymore, so your “smart” fridge will probably end up getting a virus while browsing the Internet or something like that.
