These High-Tech Refrigerators Are Expensive, But Worth The Price

The GE Profile Smart Fingerprint Resistant 4-Door French-Door Refrigerator is a spacious, 27.9 cubic-foot unit with two temperature-controlled bottom drawers, and removable bins and dividers to make even more room for larger items. According to a review from Good Housekeeping, the fridge’s customizable space and door-in-door feature are highly praised. The door-in-door feature allows you to quickly access items from the door without opening the entire fridge. 

However, what really sets this refrigerator apart are its smart features. The GE Profile Smart Fingerprint Resistant 4-Door French-Door Refrigerator is compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant, and can be integrated with IFTTT (If This, Then That) home automation. This means you can create custom routines, such as turning on your kitchen lights when the refrigerator doors are opened.

The refrigerator even has a smart water dispenser that can sense your glass and automatically fill it without overflowing, allowing you to multitask. While the French-door design is functional, Good Housekeeping notes that the overall design of the unit is fairly conventional. It lacks a touchscreen display, making it appear less high-tech than it actually is. This might lead some to question whether its high cost is justified compared to other similarly-priced options. 

The GE Profile Smart Fingerprint Resistant 4-Door French-Door Refrigerator has a list price of $4,199. However, it is currently available on Amazon for $2,777 and on Home Depot for $3,198.

A Simple Explanation of Samsung Pass and Its Benefits

Samsung Pass is a convenient feature that allows you to use your fingerprint to securely sign into your accounts on websites and supported apps. Unlike traditional password managers, it does not generate new passwords. Instead, it utilizes your existing login information to simplify the sign-in process. Once Samsung Pass is set up, you no longer have to remember usernames and passwords. You can simply rely on your fingerprint to log in.

In addition to signing in, Samsung Pass offers the option to store your address and credit card details. This eliminates the need to manually fill in this information when making online orders. The data stored in Samsung Pass is protected by Knox Security, and your biometric data is encrypted and stored securely in the “Trust Zone” of your phone. It’s important to note that Samsung Pass uses the public key of your biometric data, not your actual biometrics, to log into websites.

By signing in with the same Samsung account, you can use Samsung Pass on up to five mobile devices. Your saved IDs and passwords will sync across these devices, but you will need to register your fingerprints on each new device. It’s worth mentioning that Samsung Pass is only compatible with Samsung Internet, so it cannot be used with other browsers like Chrome or Firefox. However, if Chrome is your primary browser, you can still use Google Password Manager for website sign-ins while continuing to utilize Samsung Pass for supported apps using your fingerprint.
