@th Can it be used without agreeing to the EULA?
@th "... thereby if user in as so much as looks at it, guarantee is immediately voided. Vendor is under no obligation to ever show anything useful once display has been onwrapped thereby voiding the end user licence agreement according to §7 consumer law..."
yes, and now accept it and give your monitor internet
@th@social.v.st it's huawei, they're probably sending your data to the chinese government as you speak.
that's why you don't buy a smart monitor if possible.
if this isn't a smart monitor, then why would they require you to agree to a eula on a monitor.
either way smart monitors shouldn't exist, otherwise it's not a monitor, it's a television.
@th@social.v.st that thing should not be allowed anywhere near the internet.
@th this makes me happy to have collected more monitors than I can justify needing that are all too old to have embedded software.
@th What is that, so I can avoid it?
I was under the impression monitors were still pure...
@th "A mouse is required for this part"
@th they're turning them into mini-computers on their own, but with vastly less ability to install your own shit on them, and it's the worst
@carcinopithecus it would be delightful if they turned into minicomputers to add to my collection
In a few years.
In order to use our monitor in high resolution you need to install our application and login with your MI account.
Please note, that we're using patented technologies and you're obliged NOT to disassemble, modify, or replace details in our device. In case we find traces of EULA violation, you'll be fined with 66% of device price (no VAT included) from card linked to your MI account.
@th Agree once – OR – agree twice to Disagree? 🤔 I see what they did there…😉
@th The fuck?? It's HARDWARE.
We'd probably be sending it back and getting a different brand. Like the time a WD external drive came with a EULA thing on a slip of paper, tryimg to claim we agreed to arbitration. We sent it back and bought Seagate.
@th I'm waiting for the from the hospital that you agree to as soon as you're born.
@th Your new monitor might also have a return policy. Just saying.
@th software updates of the screen? How does that work. It's mot like you'd normally connect them to a network?
@th WTF? What brand is it?
@th
And if you try to back out of it, it just thinks you agreed twice! 
@th burn it with fire
@th It makes me sick that most people just put up with stuff like that. 🤢
@th that monitor is sussy af. why would such a thing need a eula, i swear capitalism has failed us even in the tech world
@th "smart bar" oh no
