@sjvn
Is this a Halloween horror story or a positive development?

@sjvn
First practical use of a smart fridge!

@sjvn @scott
Tired: Spending hundreds on cooling my PC
Wired: Spinning up my Fridge PC

@sjvn With all that cooling, I expect it to be overclocked to hell and back.

@sjvn hey @Andy fridge alert

@sjvn Sorry to hear that. I hope that a) insurance covers you and b) you had the disk encrypted

@sjvn I just can't...

@sjvn
Are you shittin me?

@sjvn
Your fridge has a microphone!?

@sjvn 😱

@sjvn
Good for you!
My car was stolen and if my fridge had wheels I'd use it to run errands.

@sjvn
because ... of course you are.

Internet of ... umm ... things ?
#IoT

@sjvn does it run Doom?

@sjvn Well at least they can't steal that.

@sjvn it seems to be refreshing! #sorry

@sjvn

@sjvn Too bad it starts installing a 7.5 Gb update every time you want a glass of milk

@sjvn I’m tempted to laugh at the image, but under the circumstances this seems rather uncharitable. Hope you manage to get replacements sorted and set up soon. Sorry for the inevitable hassle.

@sjvn What a time to be alive.

I hope you get your tech back! 🖖

@sjvn WFF

@sjvn

@sjvn alt text:

a stainless steel refrigerator with a large screen in it, on which is displayed a dialog box and a virtual keyboard. in front of the fridge, blocking the doors, is a work desk with keyboard, notebook and coffee cup.

@sjvn was the help rather frosty today? :p

@sjvn please do an instructable on this?

@sjvn

At least it's a shorter walk to the snacks.

@sjvn The coolest computer in town.

@sjvn your fridge would like permission to notify your contacts that you're out of milk.

Accept All / Accept Close Friends

@sjvn... So many questions...

@sjvn It looks like they also stole some of your keys from the keyboard too. Condolences

@sjvn @thomasfuchs

@sjvn Let's see them steal that

@sjvn 🤣

@sjvn
Shades of “Silicon Valley”

@sjvn Tough part will be sticking with the sensible milk in your coffee, rather than going for full-fat cream with each refill. I mean, it's right there.

@sjvn and they said cloud iot appliances arent useful pshof

@sjvn 😂😂
This Signal changelog is for you!

@sjvn @WarnerCrocker I thought those were way silly and unnecessary, and now I can imagine someone ordering groceries on them.

Fifty years back, there was grocery delivery, and calling in your order was not uncommon.

@sjvn I remember someone throwing shade about Linux on ChromeOS stating ‘you could install Linux on a fridge but why would you?’

Well, use case verified.

@sjvn that #Fridge is #cursed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcXu4_K1tMQ&t=45s

@sjvn shame your phone was stolen, because I was gonna call to ask if your fridge was running.

@sjvn omg HAHHAHAHAHAHAHA is your butt getting exponentially bigger as each day passes??

@sjvn First the desktop. Then the laptop. Now the fridgetop!

@sjvn

Now I want a coffee Machine with such a screen :)

@sjvn Not bad, but they tend to freeze a lot.

@sjvn I hope it doesn't freeze your app.

@sjvn “at the end of the day all the food got spoiled: I worked that hard!”

[picture of the interior of the fridge that looks like a captive gremlin exploded inside]

@sjvn dedication 💯

lol

@sjvn

@sjvn wauw……..

@sjvn

Has the display frozen? 🫤🤷‍♂️

@sjvn 🤣🤣🤣

@sjvn *sneaks in to take the fridge*

@sjvn What a time to be alive.

@sjvn

Sorry to hear that. Hope you have remote delete.

@sjvn Well, that's one way to put projects on ice

@sjvn this is the mastodon equivalent of this classic tweet:

@sjvn wait…you mean you had this option all along and only now decided to use it? Refreshing beverages and snacks within reach at all times is clearly the superior choice. The only missing is installing a toilet to sit on!

@sjvn 😂

@sjvn do you have to close the tabs to open the door for a snack? 😉

@sjvn Crime Wave? Do you live in an 'enterprise zone"?

@sjvn WFF

@sjvn no way 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@sjvn 😂 this reminds me of that ariana grande fan from about 10 years ago, where all of their devices were taken away from them, so that they couldn't use twitter, and they had no choice but to tweet from the smart fridge

@sjvn Cold drinks as you work! I hope they build a fridge into the next iPhone.

@sjvn looks quite a good set up. How often do you stop for a snack or some refreshments.

@sjvn Like virtually everything this generic account posts, this is a stolen viral repost.

@sjvn But how’d you take the picture?

@sjvn amazing

@sjvn is it joke?

@sjvn we live in the stupidest timeline

@sjvn The best thing about this post is that I can't tell if it's satire or not. 😆​🙃​

@sjvn Remember, the S in IoT stands for security!

@sjvn Gotta love a Turing machine.

@sjvn survival of the fittest 😂

@sjvn I bet that ice maker is due to be defrosted with a hairdryer though. #IfYouKnowYouKnow

@sjvn is is a fridge with a computer, or a computer with a fridge?

@sjvn

MacMiniFridge

@sjvn @internetofshit

@sjvn look 👀 🖥️

@sjvn wow, cooool!😆😆

@sjvn Have you installed an anti virus program? Fridges are cold but hardly immune 😉 They are prone to being hacked easily..

@sjvn You got the programmer screen rotation going at least.

@sjvn@mastodon.social I'm not saying I hope your fridge gets stolen but I wish there was a good way to subscribe to posts for follow ups. There probably is technically.

@sjvn watch out in case it starts talking to you in all caps - https://markarayner.com/books/the-fridgularity/

@sjvn 🏆 & ☕

#Alt4You : A desk pulled up against the front of a smart fridge. The fridge has a monitor on the front with what appears to be a version of Android running. On the desk there is a notepad, a wireless keyboard, and a mug of coffee.

@sjvn who took this picture?!

@sjvn I can certainly think of worse ways 2 work! 😁😁

@sjvn I do my best work in the kitchen.

@sjvn workaholic!

@sjvn staying hydrated won’t be an issue

@sjvn did not have that on any bingo card😄

@sjvn does it have vi or emacs?

@sjvn Shoot! Now they'll be coming for your fridge. Have you locked it to your cupboard handle?

@sjvn Cool!

@sjvn okay, I'm one of zhose old guys whose fridge does nothing but cool stuff down. This makes me wonder: what is the attached computer meant to be used for? I doubt its creator intendee it to run Linux desktop software as a laptop replacementn
