LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences (x.com)

It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn't matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

It's hooked to a Mac, so most likely on Thunderbolt which would allow it internet access with the video feed. So it's possible they didn't have a choice. (This isn't limited to Mac though)

So now we just need a MAC filter with a wild card at the firewall?

No more LG products in this house.

That's fucked up...

Do they make thunderbolt cables that support only video, but not network access?

[–] Xatolos@reddthat.com 2 points 1 month ago

Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and then an HDMI cable would do that, but more things to add.
