Remember when they started infecting people's computers with rootkits?
I've avoided Sony products as best I can since then. I'm probably not aware of the full suite of Sony-owned brands and companies, but rootkit made it so I haven't had a piece of Sony branded merchandise in almost 20 years.
Same here! It's absolutely bonkers to me that everyone was just OK with that.
can younplease explain to me what happened. I haven't heard about this one

thanks
My wf-xm4 earphones have battery problems and sony won't do any about it. it's a known problem, so I went out and got a sony es receiver, that has a known hissing problem and they won't do anything about it. Maybe ill learn someday.
Oh fuck I’d forgotten about that.
I knew I hated Sony, but I’d totally forgotten about that.
