▲ 390 ▼ LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences (x.com) submitted 2 years ago by 1984@lemmy.today to c/technology@lemmy.world 96 comments fedilink hide all child comments It. Is. Never. Enough. You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits. I hate it.

My favorite "features": The sticker on the door stating that by using the microwave I agree to LG's TOS, including binding arbitration. The single 4 minutes and 30 seconds of use I got out of it before the magnetron broke. When I returned it they customer service person asked if I wanted it serviced under warranty -- hilarious. Bought a Panasonic instead. permalink fedilink source parent [–] tabular@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* It's our hardware so we should be able to select another provider or host our own. Not that I consider ad tracking a "service". permalink fedilink source parent
