"Samsung support only advised to restart the refrigerator and check timezone..."

What a time to be alive.

At first I thought it wouldn't be so bad to pull over for a software update, but then I remembered I'd forgotten to charge my book and cigarette.

"I bought the fridge so my wife could keep up with my calendar. I hope this gets fixed soon. That is a lot of wasted money if no one can use this anymore."

If only there were other ways of checking or sharing an electronic calendar! The future is now.

Well, at least a calendar is fitting for a refrigerator, as opposed to a twitter client or whatever.

I have a Samsung refrigerator that is supposed to be Internet-connectible. I wasted about 5 minutes on it before giving up. The shoddy quality of the software combined with the low marginal utility of having my refrigerator connected to the Internet just didn't make it worth more than 5 minutes of my time.

We really are living the dream of first world problems.

That said, integration with calendaring software in particular is way harder than it should be.

Yeah, you WOULD kind of be better off (both financially and feature-wise) just gluing an iPad Mini to the front of the fridge...

I have a feeling that internet of things is going to be a disaster...
