reply to: [Gamers Nexus] DO NOT BUY: LG’s Spyware TVs, Monitors, and Wiretapping Concerns in privacy@lemmy.ca

@Washedupcynic Pretty much, yeah — Windows fingerprints the connected display (via the
EDID it sends over HDMI/DP) and pulls a matching driver from Windows
Update automatically. The catch is that same recognition step is how a
device ID gets logged on your side. That's the exact thing I got obsessed
with and ended up building Blacklight for — it's open-source and local,
and it shows you these hidden IDs (masked by default) so you can actually
see what got recorded. blacklight.tools
