    But Microsoft knew about this problem for years. If anyone thinks lg isn’t paying MS to leave the back door open you are being naive.

    Understood.

    Never buy LG, treat the brand as though it’s already dead.

      Also avoid Microsoft for not acting upon this known abuse vector.

      Go Linux and own your PC again.
