My setup for recording game play tonight: 42" LG C2 OLED TVMSI Claw 8 AI+IVANKY Dock (the Claw is sitting on it) with HDMI out to external capture card, USB for mouse and controller.Ugreen external USB-C video capture card that can do up to 4K at 144hz. Almost zero lag loopback for video to my TV. It's hidden behind the Claw.Lenovo ThinkPad 14s gen 5 running Fedora Linux 44 (Silverblue) with OBS Studio to record game play.El cheapo TMKB M1 mouse. It might be cheap ($29), but it is pretty awesome and performs just as good as the $80+ name brand mice (looking at you Logitech, why are your mice so expensive?)Gamesir Cyclone 2 controller with TMR sticks.Old Microsoft Designer keyboard. It's old, but it's super compact and thin. It keeps my desktop nice and tidy.#gaming #videogames #gear #lg #msi #ugreen #lenovo #thinkpad #gamesir #microsoft #keyboard #controller #mouse #handheld #tv

LG monitors will no longer feature external ads in Windows The unsolicited advertising engine from LG monitors will be somewhat restricted after user protests. LG is apparently reacting to pressure from Microsoft. https://www.heise.de/en/news/LG-monitors-will-no-longer-feature-external-ads-in-Windows-11378397.html?wt_mc=sm.red.ho.mastodon.mastodon.md_beitraege.md_beitraege&utm_source=mastodon #Apps #IT #LG #McAfee #Microsoft #Monitor #Werbebranche #Windows #news

"Spur argues the problem is not that residential proxy networks exist, but rather that they are being embedded at scale in devices that most consumers do not think of as computers and are not equipped to audit. “A one-time consent prompt buried in a TV app is not a substitute for meaningful transparency, ongoing control, and platform oversight,” Spur’s Trevor Sutter wrote. “The risk is amplified when consent comes from individuals within the household who use the device but shouldn’t give consent, such as minors.” LG’s announcement that it is culling residential proxy SDKs from its app store is welcome news, but the company recently came under fire for another questionable partnership: Pimping McAfee security products via software drivers included in its high-end LCD monitors. Earlier this week, the Youtube channel Gamers Nexus showed that certain LG LCD monitors will automatically install an app that promotes paid McAfee antivirus subscriptions, and that the app arrives through Windows Update without an approval prompt." https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/07/lg-to-ban-residential-proxies-from-smart-tv-apps/ #CyberSecurity #LG #ResidentialProxies #SmartTV

Researchers found residential proxy SDKs in 2,058 LG webOS and Samsung Tizen smart TV apps, allowing many devices to share internet connections through proxy networks. 📺 The findings raise privacy and security concerns, as internet-connected TVs can run background activity for years with little user visibility or control. 🔒 🔗 https://cyberinsider.com/50-of-lg-and-samsung-smart-tv-apps-embed-residential-proxies/ #TechNews #LG #Samsung #TV #Television #Streaming #SmartTV #Privacy #Security #webOS #Tizen #CyberSecurity #Technology #DigitalRights #FOSS #IoT

Jos yhdistät LG:n näytön Windows-tietokoneeseen, asentuu koneeseen automaattisesti LG:n sovellus, joka näyttää mainoksia Puhtaasti adwareksi leimattu sovellus saa itselleen täydet käyttöoikeudet (mutta ei ylläpito-oikeuksia), koska sen asentuminen käyttää mekanismia, joka on oikeasti varattu ajureiden ja tärkeiden laitehallintasovellusten asennukseen. LG on vain keksinyt käyttää kyseistä ominaisuutta hyvin kyseenalaisella tavalla. https://dawn.fi/uutiset/2026/07/22/lg-naytto-windows-mainoksia #LG #adware #mainonta #windows #uutiset #teknologia #tekniikka

New, exclusive, by me: LG to Ban Residential Proxy Providers from Smart TV Apps The home appliance giant LG Electronics USA said this week it plans to suspend any apps built for its smart TVs that turn one’s television into an always-on residential proxy node. The move comes less than a month after researchers found that more than 42 percent of games and other apps available for download on LG’s webOS store allow unknown third-parties to route their Internet traffic through a user’s TV. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2026/07/lg-to-ban-residential-proxies-from-smart-tv-apps/ #smarttv #lg #residentialproxies #spur #security

Was ist die Rechtfertigung für so ein Verhalten? Ich hasse es, wie die gute alte Regel "hab ich gekauft, gehört jetzt mir" immer weiter zersetzt wird. Natürlich kann man sich jetzt hier ein "Mit #Linux wäre das nicht passiert" nicht verkneifen. #Windows #LG www.heise.de/news/LG-Moni... LG-Monitore schleusen Werbesch...

#LG-Monitore schleusen Werbeschleuder ein https://www.heise.de/news/LG-Monitore-schleusen-Werbeschleuder-ein-11369530.html Der meiner Meinung nach Interessante dabei ist, dass #Microsoft beim Update von #Windows offenbar automatisch beliebige Hersteller-Software ungefragt am System installiert. Kann man offenbar mit einer Gruppenrichtlinie abschalten. Allerdings kann ich mir gut vorstellen, dass dadurch einige normale Gerätetreiber usw. dann nicht mehr wunschgemäß geladen werden. 🤷 Sorry, es gibt wirklich kaum noch Argumente für #Windows11 und immer mehr für einen Umstieg auf ein modernen #Linux-System. #Frickelsystem #Win11

Okay, LISTEN UP DO NOT BUY LG. Not ANYTHING LG. Not only are they actively spying on you, not only have they updated their TOS to include requiring you to NOTIFY GUESTS ABOUT WIRETAPPING LAW, on Windows they're pushing ADWARE through WINDOWS UPDATE along with their monitor drivers - including on OLD monitors. Gamers Nexus has all the deets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9uefFYe6bM DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS. GN had a three-year-old monitor get an "update" that was adware. It wasn't even part of their investigation. It just happened to come in while they were investigating. DO NOT BUY LG PRODUCTS. #adware #spyware #surveillance #fascism #LG #FuckLG #DoNotBuy #boycott

Option 1: Don't buy LG Option 2: Don't buy LG displays, especially if you are running Windows At this point, I don't know what the experience is on newer LG TVs where you do not connect it to the Internet via any means (wireless or wired). I have C1 OLED where it's never been on the Internet since being unboxed at home. There are no nags when trying to use basic functionality such as switching between inputs and channels.
