Owners mourn spoiled food after firmware update bricks Samsung smart fridges
submitted by alyaza to technology
52 points | 6 comments
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/09/owners-mourn-spoiled-food-after-firmware-update-bricks-samsung-smart-fridges/Some Samsung smart fridges stopped working on Tuesday due to a firmware update.
Korean outlets were the first to report the problems, which affect Samsung’s Bespoke AI line of fridges. Star News Korea, per a Google-provided translation, said that most of the affected devices were four-door fridges from 2024 or later.
Affected fridges “suddenly lost power and stopped functioning immediately after” trying to issue a firmware update through SmartThings, Samsung’s smart home platform, per Star News Korea. The SmartThings app then showed the devices as offline. Some users said that their fridge’s internal display was stuck showing the message “Checking SmartThings app during update.”
There are numerous reports on Samsung’s Korean community forum detailing the problem. Some users claim that they have owned their affected fridge for just a year or less.
“[T]he refrigeration and refrigeration functions themselves did not work normally, so all the food in the refrigerator had to be disposed of,” one user wrote, per a translation.

Squirted Glock comp that doesn't suck
submitted by HoffLabs to technology
5 points | 11 commentsFirst post, so go easy on me, but I’m wondering if there is any call in this community for a Glock compensator that doesn’t suck. By that, I mean on that isn’t overly huge, but still will work with PLA plus. If so, I could probably offer up a design Iade for myself so I could put something on the end of my invader V2.
Sorry for the bad pic, lighting isn’t too great.

DHS Starts Dicking Around After Blowing Past Its Deadline For ICE Body Cam Rollout
In what was a severely belated response to acts of violence by immigration enforcement officers, “Border Czar” (who seems far more interested in raiding inland cities than patrolling the border) Tom Homan assured the nation that all ICE officers would soon be wearing body cameras. The only holdup, he said, was a lack of funding. […] -
