    I learned two things this weekend. One is that Samsung refrigerator/freezers have a “Demo Mode” where everything seems to be running normally, but all the actual cooling functions have been disabled. And the other is that you can activate this mode by leaning against the door the wrong way

        @billinkc @jalefkowit Great joke to play on a Fox News viewer, though.

            @jalefkowit wait, what? They ship their actual consumers models with a built in demo mode?

                      Presumably #Samsung fridge freezers without external control panels are immune? Asking for a me.

                            @CppGuy Presumably yes, but never underestimate Samsung’s ability to design something poorly

                              Wow. I've heard of UI 'dark patterns' before, but this qualifies as a 'doh pattern'.

                                I dunno about you but I'm about six feet tall, _all_ torso, and constantly tired of holding my body up. I'm _gonna_ lean on shit.

                                Appliances should be lean-able.

                                    @jalefkowit @machias I gave away my Samsung refrigerator. Literally gave it away for no money at all.
                                    In the reply to this reply, I will explain why. It has to do with demo mode, but it’s impossible for me to say this without cussing a lot.

                                        I learned two things this weekend. One is that Samsung refrigerator/freezers have a “Demo Mode” where everything seems to be running normally, but all the actual cooling functions have been disabled. And the other is that you can activate this mode by leaning against the door the wrong way
