Why on earth have you let your monitor access the internet
Why on earth buy a "smart" monitor. It is a computer. There is a smart device attached by definition.
It's hooked to a Mac, so most likely on Thunderbolt which would allow it internet access with the video feed. So it's possible they didn't have a choice. (This isn't limited to Mac though)
So now we just need a MAC filter with a wild card at the firewall?
No more LG products in this house.
That's fucked up...
Do they make thunderbolt cables that support only video, but not network access?
Thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and then an HDMI cable would do that, but more things to add.
