It. Is. Never. Enough.

You paid hundreds of dollars for a new monitor, but it doesn’t matter. More ads, more profits.

I hate it.

    A monitor is an output device. It cannot transmit or operate on a network. (inb4 ethernet over HDMI: There is no implementation of the spec in the wild).

    If there’s any ad tracking, it would have to be in your display driver on the PC.

      How about Thunderbolt? This looks like macOS, and while I’m not 100% sure if they utilize HDMI ports anymore, they certainly use Thunderbolt.

        Does Mac OS automatically allow random connected devices outbound traffic to any?

      Welcome back from the coma, I’m glad you made it through. We have Thunderbolt and USB-C now.
