I don’t know if this is common knowledge, but not all refrigerators nowadays are magnetic. When going out shopping for one, bringing a small fridge magnet can help you easily rule some models out if you care about that.

I do this with hard drives and other computer components.
Okay, grandpa
Elaborate please
It’s a joke. Magnets mess with digital storage components.
Back when we still used HDDs they stored data magnetically and magnets would corruot your entire pc
Yeah I thought this might actually be a pro tip :))
Back when? I upgraded my storage with a couple of 14TB drives ~2 years ago and HDD was the only answer. Doing a quick search, the largest SSD I can find at the moment is 8TB and they’re well over $1,000 each.
Also, there are crazy strong magnets inside of HDDs. I initially thought this is what the above was referring to since I use the magnets from old decommissioned HDDs to hold things to the fridge : D
EDIT: I am weird though and prefer a desktop as my primary computing device… which doubles as a media server… in addition to my non-media server.
