Seriously. Wipe it, claim it's new to you or whatever, put your stuff back on later if you need to. I'm sure you can find somewhere or someone you trust to get you that data back whenever you actually need it.

Cost of doing business... if they aren't going to own up and make changes to prevent it in the future, what's the point?

If you did this, you'd have like 20 CD's by the end of the year (way more id you can find used ones) that you completely own and no one can pull the license for later.

Ripping them is easy and allows you to play them anywhere, even without internet.

Stop don't know why things like this are on networks that connect in any way To the outside world. This should require physical access.

I remember when you couldn't have camera phones a lot of business. Seems like these would be prohibited simply from a security standpoint. Harassment would just be another reason on top of that.

They also need to not run unopposed.... or it won't matter.

You'll own nothing and like it!

He has, and as far as I know he hasn't been held accountable, so I guess this guy's fine, right?

  1. This is probably just a marketing stunt
  2. If I was a corporation, I would run screaming to the hills away from something that has so shitty security and containment protocols that it "accidentally hacked a competitor" How could you ever trust OpenAI with any company data?

Sounds like the "Gawd Damn Lochness Monster!"

Technically "layoffs" are different from "firing".

Layoffs are typically high in number, wider reaching, reductions in force just to cut numbers.

Firings are targeted and generally (though they don't have to be) with cause and have a procedure (performance reviews, improvement plans, warnings, etc.)

Not to say you can't target a layoff to include all your lower performers, more to say that you can still fire someone outside of a layoff.

That's what I thought was happening here. The headline is a bit incorrect... the monitor didn't install the bloatware, Windows did.

Now the drivers/software that Windows installed is likely from the MS store/update path and was made and signed by LG, but still. Plug this monitor into linux and it's not going to do it because linux doesn't have that mechanism.
