        That would be lovely to see implemented.
        Samsung execs unable to go withing 100m radius of any random chap who might have bought a Samsung TV in the past 10 years.

          Point of clarification – this thread is about an LG lawsuit.

          Samsung is allegedly doing similar heinous shit, so I get why the company and its execs would come to mind.

            In my defence, I had put them in the same bucket in my brain.

            Although I tend to put all of them in the same bucket given enough time, including the company I am working for…
            My simple response to a net connected device is to drop them a mail asking whether the appliance will work its whole life without requiring an internet connected activation and if I have either no response, or some “we care for customer” bs, then I just don’t buy.
            The underside of a rock sometimes feels much better.
