Well, I can appreciate your sense of frustration.

The response itself lacks any qualifying element to support your position or provide a point of view worth considerIng.

It’s impossible to consider it an argument worth contemplation.

…I guess I’m just too thoughtless and ignorant to discern an actual point to your outburst.

Well thanks for tip, i guess? I do see the setting in iOS.

Ya, I’m a 100% go for this; Ukraine gets to come too.

We get it, you don”t like the EU.

The idea of deeper ties with them is offensive to you.

What’s your idea to rapidly improve our economic and defensive position in the face of American aggressions ?

Amazing. Real leadership on display here; human-centric values.

In some cases, they might be looking for unsecure devices… but really I think the main use case for LG is to identify the devices. They are more interested in knowing what and whose products you have. And maybe also to what degree they identify individual people by the unique characteristics.

Your phone, for example, would communicate its response to this scan using a unique physical ID (MAC address), and that ID would stay consistent regardless of what wifi network you were on. So you see how that’s useful to fucking Palantir or whoever wants it.

smart devices belong in an isolated network zone on your network.

I realize (and so does LG and many others) that smart devices offer a back door through perimeter security defenses. They understand that most people cannot defend themselves against (or even understand) this and also effectively use the product at the same time.

Effectively, many smart devices are trojan horses. Limit how many you use, understand whether or not they actually need persistent internet access, and segment your network if you have the ability.

Braindead comment.

Sony fully-embracing its enshittification arc.

I have a lot of Sony gear; I’ve been really happy with the quality… but I’ll look elsewhere as they have been self-destructing as a company for a while now. I know their TVs are going to be crappier than they have been, because they stopped making them themselves. Probably the audio gear will be next.

1. AI integration into business processes.
2. Steal business processes and trade secrets.
3. Destroy decision-making capability.
4. Destroy production capability and capacity to deliver value and banish institutional knowledge (through layoffs)
5. Replace incumbent market-leaders with like-for-like services, while destroying their ability to compete and also charging them for the privilege.

Cool. I like it

Hilarious self-own by Cheeto man. What a little bitch.
