Samsung is rolling out an update to its refrigerators with displays that will enable them to show advertisements.

        Only sometimes. I’ve seen the mute button be disabled on numerous machines. Worth knowing and trying when the screen is blaring ads at you, but my success rate has been low in muting them.

      Especially lately. The screens used to just be for controlling the pump or letting the station show a silent ad or two for products in their convenience store. Or community ads.

      NOW THEY BLARE RANDOM ADS AS YOU GAS UP YOUR VEHICLE.

      It’s bliss after hours when the gas station is about to close and the ads stop. You can pump up in peace. Although when the ads crash the pump, have fun paying for gas.
