I think you could probably scan for the IP or domain it connects to and firewall it off, or route the dns for the domain to 127.0.0.1. That might be better as it could potentially leave you the 'smart' features. I don't know what the fuck a smart fridge would exactly do though.
Honestly, I can't even imagine what the fuck a "smart fridge" would do. I don't even want to look it up. The only reasonable functions for a screen on a fridge would be MAYBE the temperature or something. Even a washing machine/dryer/dishwasher I could see maybe see someone wanting a notification when it finishes it's cycle but a fucking fridge just sits there and keeps shit cold.
I'm pretty sure it tracks how much food you have and can automatically order more to be delivered. Cause I guess it's too difficult to make a list and go to store yourself.
I don't see how it could possibly track that (i'm a programmer) - there's gotta be hundreds if not thousands of different milk bottle shapes with the same number of various labels in the world, and how would it know how much milk is left in that bottle? I suppose the food ordering would maybe make sense - You run out of milk, close the door and order more or at least maybe can compile a shopping list directly from the screen or something and push it to your phone?

Most people don’t know that the “smart” part of all smart products is an acronym for: “Self Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology”. ALL smart products are designed to spy on the users, and to report the activity the product records back to the corporation who sells the product, who then turn around and sell that data to other jew corporations and to ZOG for a myriad of purposes. It’s probably best to limit how many smart products you bring in to your daily life, it’s all Jewish spyware, and the data it collects is almost always used in ways that go against your interests.

It's jewish spyware but the whole acronym thing is bogus boomer shit. Like "cop" standing for "constable on patrol". "Smart" was just a buzzword in the late 90's/early 2000's for anything that resembled having the functionality of a computer.

Wrong…. The acronym was first used in the context of computer hard drives to describe a system that could predict and report potential failures before they could cause data loss, but has since expanded to all sorts of tech that is internet connected, interactive, and provides advanced functionality beyond simple messaging or on/off control. You should probably learn about things like “the Internet of Things” (IoT) and “the Internet of Bodies” (IoB), that stuff is basically a bunch of smart tech that is meant to be interconnected and able to communicate different analysis data between devices and back to a source. So basically when the jews push us into their technocracy, every piece of smart tech, whether it’s a wearable like what RFK Jr wants everyone to have, or implantable smart tech like Elon’s brain chip, or your smart phone, TV fridge or whatever, it all becomes a massive spy grid that records what each individual says and does, where that person goes, what he/she eats, how much exercise that person gets, how his/her body reacts to certain stimuli etc…..that tech will be used to limit everything you are allowed to do, and be able to report bad behavior back to the international ZOG instantaneously in order to formulate your social credit score to determine whether you get disappeared for being a noncompliant goy, or are given the green light to travel outside of your “15 minute open city” (which is just an open-air prison).
People think what I’m saying is outlandish conspiracy bullshit, meanwhile it’s already being used to dictate much of the privileges the Chinese people have in daily life right now. Jews used this tech on the Chinese first because they knew the Chinese people are a lot more compliant with authoritarianism than western populations, they knew they wouldn’t push back so it was perfect for the beta test so all of the kinks could be worked out before jews force their technocracy, digital ID, digital currency and social credit system on the western world. It’s coming to us in the near future, the ultimate tool of social control, complete enslavement of the population right down to the very thoughts they are allowed to have.
Again, I'm not doubting the spyware aspect of it and am very well acquainted with the idea of the "internet of things". I looked into this more and you are correct regarding the hard drive acronym, but there is no continuity between this acronym and the term "smartphone" which was a marketing term that first came around in '97 and was never really popular until the iPhone a decade later.
Point being, seriously connecting the S.M.A.R.T acronym from the niche hard drive error correction protocols in the early 90's to the "smartphones" of today DOES come off off like conspiracy B.S. It needlessly weakens your overall, legitimate concerns.
Which is the most common usage of the acronym. Your interpretation is wrong and mostly useless. The people making "smart fridges" are not applying this business strategy or hard drive protocol to your devices. What they mean is "we put a PC into your appliance."
Which, quite frankly, is _worse_. Who wants to secure their fridge against network attacks? You've taken a legalistic interpretation and it's confused your understanding of the actual problem.

I have 0 "smart" devices in my home. Or the car. Whoever gets those is a consumerist idiot. I don't even have a smart phone, which arguably can be helpful sometimes, but meh. I've seen enough people stuck on their fucking phones on buses and trains. It's utterly pathetic. And I wonder, do I want to depend on such a device? No. That's why I have a Nokia brick phone. The next one I buy will have a longer battery life, because this damn thing only lasts a few days and is dead more often than not.

You'd be better off getting a Google Pixel and installing grapheneos on it. You are probably less secure using that Nokia as all calls you make and any messages you send are unencrypted whereas you could be using signal/session/whatever for those things.

I barely use my phone anyways. If I wanted to do things that shouldn't be traced back to me, I would buy those sim cards that aren't connected to anything. Everything serious I'd talk about either personally or via internet where I do use applications that have encryption, or are with people I trust.

If you'd just be swapping SIM/eSIM, remember that the IMEI number would be registered to the SIM when you connect to mobile network. You'd have to use a phone you never used for a card registered to you.
