I think I'm a pretty okay guy. I help a lot of folks out, and don't generally look for trouble. Just gimme a sandwich, a burger, and/or soup and I'm good.

Yes, the software is called LG OnScreen Control Plus. it runs silently in the background. it tracks which applications you use, when you use them, and how long. it phones home to LG servers. it cannot be uninstalled through normal means without leaving registry traces.

gamers noticed because some anti-cheat systems flagged it as suspicious software. the monitor was getting people banned from games.

now the TV side:

LG also updated its webOS terms of service. if you use the AI voice features on your LG TV, the company says you may need to inform guests in your home that conversations could be recorded.

not LG informing your guests.

you. the homeowner. legally responsible for notifying anyone who walks into your living room that the television is listening.

LG built a surveillance device. sold it to you. and made the disclosure your legal problem.

so to recap what LG shipped this year:

a monitor that installs tracking software on your PC without asking.

a TV that records conversations in your home and requires you to warn your guests.

both devices look exactly like a monitor and a TV.

neither one tells you what it actually is at the point of sale.

you found out when your game banned you.

or when you read the terms.

@Type07Safety I had to get sprayed a bunch of times to test various products. It messes you up, but it also wouldn't stop a really motivated attacker. Like, in this case, they could have still fought if they wanted to. Something these guys oughtta consider.

@delmontyb I feel like this is more a condemnation of the parents who installed a T rated game for someone below the age recommendations, or allowed their kids unrestricted access to the game and Epic store. Parent YOUR kid. Don't force the responsibility on everyone else.

Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc and it's yours forever.

You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought.

@2nd_zoeyy Sorry, I'm too tired.

@Pirat_Nation Dude, that's a terrible bargain. Scarlet and violet were okay games, but felt like 8th Console Gen games. I'm very glad I only paid about a third of the retail price. I would have been livid if I had paid the release MSRP.

Apparently, it wasn't just Sony President and CEO Hiroki Totoki who sold stock days after PlayStation announced the end of discs.

Multiple Sony executives have also been selling their shares following the backlash.

But I thought Sony said the outrage was fake and people would forget about it

@PokemonGoApp Kinda lame you seemed to curate an experience for your elite influencers, but made the odds for just about everyone else astronomically against their favor. Not cool, IMO 🤨
