Realistically, they dont, but LG’s PR team will probably give you a speil about updating firmware, bringing new content aware features to the screen, etc.

You are not logged in. If you use a Fediverse account that is able to follow users, you can follow this user.
It’s interesting, when I first opened the article, I was denied because adblock, but I clicked it again and it loaded the second time. They may be A/B testing something or it could be it really didn’t like that my initial click was a fresh incognito tab was too sanitized. Who knows.
Ehh, they’re meh. Give me a Stardew Valley or a Minecraft any day over something like Valorant or Call of Black Dutyfield 12
Yes, it’s bad, but worth pointing out, they didn’t identify the user directly by somehow extracting GDID from their traffic, they identified them because their GDID happened to be in the same place at the same time at their hacking efforts that became statistically impossible to ignore.
Realistically this kind of tracking could be accomplished with any software with a unique ID that does, say, daily update checks or usage pings. This one is just extra bad because it’s ubiquitous (on Windows) and almost impossible to change, so they have a 1-stop-shop for spying.
