it puts me off ever buying or recommending an Alienware monitor
Why would anyone recommend an Alienware monitor? They don’t make displays. You’re just recommending which branding the display has.
That sounds extremely illegal…
It might be, if they hadn’t already agreed to it in the windows ToS, and/or in the LG ToS.
What are you going to do? Sue them? Call 911? Ring up your lawyer?
“Operator, this company is doing some very illegal fuckery! Please arrest them right away!”
How does the economy work when every company have to rely on addsinstead of their own products?
What do you mean “have to?” These companies are making money hand over fist, not paying a large portion of their employees a livable wage, and choose to spy on us for extra profit.
I wonder what would happen to a person if they were to install software onto LG’s computers without their consent.
Another reason to use Linux 😅
Also a reason not to buy LG
tbf LG monitors are quite good hardware, but I’ve been buying Dell the last 10 years and never had issues.
