It probably says somewhere in the ToS, which is still a fucking disgrace that those exists, without having to make clear and obvious bullet points you click "consent".

Even having to make consent multiple times should be mandatory for every shit they try to do.

Solution if users shouldnt hit consent multiple times? Dont do shady shit.

    I can't remember the specifics right now, but in Gamers Nexus video from yesterday, according to LG ToS you must disclose something regarding spying and wiretapping laws to your family and anyone visiting your house

    I have a plan: we pass a law that any contract intended for the public (ToS, various other terms and conditions, privacy policies, etc) must be at the average reading level of the American public. We'll either incentivize better education or better contracts. Maybe both!

    Or standardize agreements that can be agreed to with just clicks so you can tell what's up from just seeing which agreement modules are included and what parameters they have (along with a bunch of sites that explain them in easier terms for the less literate, which will be useful because they are standards used by many agreements rather than needing a unique one for each version of each document).

    Apparently it's windows doing it. Not the monitor via the HDMI or something. I guess that's what you get for using windows.

    Yep. Windows installs manufacturer “helper” apps automatically like drivers. Got a Logitech mouse? You probably have a Logitech app in there you never asked for too because you plugged it in.

    Stop using windows.

    I had to go and find the Logitech app and install it myself. Otherwise it just used the minimal drivers that were built into windows.

    Maybe wired mice and those without rainbow barf behave differently.
