Point of clarification -- this thread is about an LG lawsuit.

Samsung is allegedly doing similar heinous shit, so I get why the company and its execs would come to mind.

Although I tend to put all of them in the same bucket given enough time, including the company I am working for...
My simple response to a net connected device is to drop them a mail asking whether the appliance will work its whole life without requiring an internet connected activation and if I have either no response, or some "we care for customer" bs, then I just don't buy.
