  • I had a spirited discussion with an LG repair guy working on the smart fridge that came with my home. I don’t allow malware on my network so the fridge doesn’t get to do whatever a fridge needs internet access for.

    He tried to scare me by saying it would connect to whatever network was available but I live in the sticks and there isn’t even cell coverage here much less another router for it to connect to so unless they are putting a satellite uplink in it that would not happen and I would think he knew that since I had to put him on my guestnet so he could call his support line.

    So then he said it wouldn’t work properly unless it was on the network and I told him if it somehow connected I would use an ACL to ensure it couldn’t talk to anything.

    Anyway, bought a cheap fridge from CostCo with an extended warranty and they dumpstered that LG POS. Good riddance.
