My smart fridge lied to me

I honestly do not understand why anyone would want to watch TV on their fridge.
Right?! When they could be playing Doom on it.
I prefer Stardew Valley
How you choose to fight hell spawn is OK with me.
Yeah, I just watch TV at the gas pump like everyone else.

Where are the ads?
When you kill an enemy.
Lots of people have a TV blaring all day in the kitchen. I don’t get that either, but that must be their target.
Becomes a white noise that’s comforting?
I get it. I usually have some manner of street food compilation or gaming video in the background if I'm not actively watching something.
Yep. It distracts from thoughts and loneliness. They start to think of it as a friend.
Where’d you dig up this pop psych bullshit?
How is noise comforting?
The reporter’s use case actually makes a lot of sense to me. I would never buy one of these, but I wouldn’t be opposed to using something like this if I ever ended up with one.
It’s not like I stand in front of it and watch a whole movie in my kitchen. But I like to have the T2 Tennis Channel on while I scramble eggs or pop on a news show while cooking dinner. Plus, it’s nice to have a kitchen screen that doesn’t take up counter space.
Or just put some adhesive flat magnets on your tablet.
I'm sure there's flat magnets you can put on your tablet.
The aspect ratio of the screen doesn't seem like it'd be all that ideal.
Since it now the norm for everyone to film everything with a smartphone and in the vertical position (I'm old enough that this still hurts my soul), Ive hypothesized that it won't be long before we start seeing a lot of tvs in this format.
Ow! Now my soul is taking splash damage.
Just be glad it doesn't have an LLM based AI yet.
I wouldn't want to watch TV, but having a recipe in large text would be really nice.
I honestly do not understand why anyone would want to watch TV
on their fridge.I was sat in the optician's waiting room the other day, and there was some cheap gameshow on the TV, where people would win like £20.
I couldn't believe that people would even film it, let alone broadcast it.
Watching broadcast TV is the equivalent of going to a restaurant, not wanting to choose and just asking the waiter to pour any old slop down your gob.
