Sony understands only one language... MONEY. I stopped buying their products since they installed a root kit decades ago in my computer to prevent it from ripping my legally bought CDs to my computer. I had to reinstall windows to get rid of that virus. Never again! And all my electronics were Sony back then

Hey, just wanted to say I’m glad a few of us remember the rootkit fiasco. I still won’t buy Sony products today.

[-] Nightwind@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Same here. This was such a hostile move I never bought anything "Sony" after that.

Don't forget the "fix" Sony offered after they were initally caught was an even MORE invasive rootkit. 🫠
