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 washer that takes that long would be kind of insane, but a drying time in the 4+ hour range isn't that wild, in my experience.

    The all in ones tend to be heat pump condensor dryers. Which are great, way less power used, and genteler on clothes, BUT take way longer.

    I got one, and I struggle to think I'd ever go back to moving laundry over between machines unless I had to, even if it means 2-3 hours for medium load of laundry. It does that in the background anyways.

    And here the dumb washer/dryer at my place takes 45 mins to wash and 1 hr to dry, every time

    I assume it's got a pretty small capacity. Bigger capacity washers and dryers take about the same amount of time to wash four times as many clothes, but they take the same amount of time to dry as three or four loads--you just get them all during the same cycle, without having to move anything over.
