📱📱 Samsung Firmware Update Bricks Smart Refrigerators

Samsung’s Bespoke AI smart refrigerators experienced failures after the latest software update. Affected units, reportedly including many four-door models from 2024 or later, suddenly lost power or stopped functioning after the update. Some displays became stuck on an update-related message, while SmartThings showed the refrigerators as offline. Samsung said the incident was caused by an error during internal testing of a refrigerator software update and that it suspended the testing after receiving reports.

Samsung said the issue is limited to South Korea and has activated an emergency response through its service centers. Korean media reported hundreds of customer complaints, with some owners saying their refrigerators stopped cooling and food had to be discarded. Samsung has not disclosed how many units were affected or what measures will prevent a recurrence.

📺 Creating the invisible earphones from scratch

The author built a pair of custom invisible wireless earphones by completely modifying a pair of wireless earbuds. One earphone was molded to fit inside the ear using silicone and clear resin, while the second was miniaturized and built into a pen as a tiny wireless microphone. The original electronics, touch controls, and charging case were modified to fit the new designs. The project combines reverse engineering, electronics miniaturization, soldering, custom ear molding, resin casting, and precision assembly.
