Comment on LG monitor asking about ad tracking preferences

• oatscoop@midwest.social ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

  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.

  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.

  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.
