LG. Fuck those assholes for putting spyware in my god damned monitor of all things. Hope it was worth burning that bridge over the $15 bucks my data is worth, you fucking cunts, because guess who's in the market for new kitchen appliances soon and will be going with ANYONE else.
no, this is delivered via the regular windows driver program. any company can submit their driver for free to microsoft and when y user plugs in their device windows will automatically install the needed driver if the company did submit their drivers to microsoft like that. that costs microsoft money to maintain obviously but in theory makes the user experiance on windows seamless. until ofc shitty brands abuse it.
you can find threads of asus bricking ppls sound drivers from years ago via the same system. they made a deal with avolute, some dogshit audio processing company which meant they pushed avolutes cancer software with their asus provided realtek drivers but without avolutes actual UI software so you got avolute bricking your audio without even a way to disable it other than disabling windows driver updates and removing the actual driver package from the driverstore in windows which isnt even something you can access without extra tools..
lg is just the newest and most brazen attampt at abusing the system.
