I have ZERO doubt other makers pull the same shit. I've been through Sony and Samsung. LG just had the best picture quality. Didn' think they would abuse the trust. They have.

LG also sells really decent home appliances. We have a few. Not sure I trust them not to be abusing that trust.

    Yeah, I'm like hyper aware of these shenanigans at this point.

    Hell, we just bought a HiSense portable AC that I didn't realize had wifi until it was delivered. I straight up ripped out the wifi module as soon as I took it out of the box. I actually just got some parts for a fully local ESP32 replacement that I found on a whim after a bit of googling 😂
