Won't be buying one of those fridges.
In 5 years, all of them will be doing this.
It is just one aspect of the class war being waged against pedons.
Looks like I won't be buying fridges in 5 years then.
There are still plenty of top-freezer refrigerators with no water dispenser, ice maker or filtration available and those fell out of style decades ago - despite being ~20% more energy efficient than bottom freezer refrigerators. They’re not going away anytime soon.
Time will tell, don't give them ideas
On a side note, it's more energy efficient BC it helps cool the bottom when freezer on top?
Most refrigerators have the compressor at the bottom and the heat from the compresser causes more energy loss in the bottom-freezer configuration.
I will learn how to build my own refrigerator before submitting to this IoT bullshit.
I'll just return to tradition and dig a root cellar.
Hey more power to you. Not everyone can do it but this is an example of direct action.
We don't all have to do the same thing, we just need to hurt their profit where and everywhere you can on personal level.
If everyone did it, it would hurt the parasite.
Best recent example is EU and CA "social drinkers" opting out of US poison.
So clearly it works if enough people do a thing.
Surely anyone could just not have a fridge, don't buy things that require it.
That's an edge Lord take. I am all about direct action but I don't think this strategy is valid for gen pop lol
But personally I drew some lines in the sand and sufferthem 🫡
If everyone did a fee, the world would be a better place. But it is very much a personal decision shaped by the material conditions.
I had to a while back in a shared house
