GE fridges refuse to work unless water filter is ‘official’, via RFID chip

Saw this on BoingBoing. Perhaps a warning for anyone looking to purchase a fridge anytime soon.

Well, that is pretty lame.

I’ve got a Whirlpool fridge and only buy the recommended filter, but I hate anti-consumer moves like this. GE should be ashamed.
