PSA: My smart fridge's 'inventory scanner' broke and left me with spoiled milk for a week.
The camera inside my new LG fridge that's supposed to track what I have stopped connecting to the app after a routine software update last Tuesday. I kept thinking I had milk because the app said so, but the real carton had gone bad. Has anyone else had a smart appliance feature fail so completely that it changed your view on the tech?

My Samsung oven's smart preheat feature once got stuck in a software loop and just kept heating. I came back to a kitchen that felt like a sauna and a display reading 600 degrees. It completely fried a frozen pizza into a black brick. Now I just use the old school timer dial like my grandma did.

Yeah, that's rough. Had a similar thing with my own smart fridge's camera. Ended up just putting a cheap whiteboard on the door for a grocery list, which is way more reliable (and doesn't need a software update).
