  As with all these services, the “disagree” option is “stop using our devices and services”

    I wonder how things would go if they made you agree to the terms before being allowed to purchase it.

      Most people would agree without reading like they do at home.

    I bought an LG microwave a few months ago to replace a dead 10 year old Sharp. My favorite “features”:

    • The sticker on the door stating that by using the microwave I agree to LG’s TOS.
    • The single 4 minutes and 30 seconds of use I got out of it before the magnetron broke.

    When I returned it they customer service person asked if I wanted it serviced under warranty – hilarious. Bought a Panasonic instead.

    It’s our hardware so we should be able to select another provider or host our own. Not that I consider ad tracking a “service” unless you count ad-blockers.
