damn Telescreens
Why is it on the network anyway?
Seeing the word "smart" in a device description has become a warning flag.
Me the second I read this: FUCK. THAT. 😠
I was so pissed when I realised most of the feature on my smart monitor were disabled by disallowing network connection. especially when those features where present on my non smart monitor. Things like dual input so having two devices over HDMI / DPI display on separate portions of the screen was fine on my old lg ultra wide but on the new smart ultra wide it is disabled all because I won't agree to they're terms.
This should be illegal. That functionality has nothing to do with accepting ads.
This is really upsetting to see them get away with this.
Louis Rossmann has LG as an anti-sponsor. He calls them out for their bullshit in some of his videos.
Smart Monitor is the same as a Smart TV, not surprised
LG is on my total boycott list. Samsung, HP, LG.
I bought an HP printer and God damn it.... Never, ever buy a hp printer, and specially if you run Linux.
Why? Doesn't This exist, ik the hp forcing the software thing yes but is it bad on linux bcs of the software?
I have a HP printer that works perfectly fine on Linux. But it's from 2015.
Brother is the way to go
Report it as a bug. No matter if it was on purpose, a TV displaying ads is malfunctioning, they have to fix it.
