Or boycott LG and any businesses that acts in this manor.

Hey man; it's manner, not manor. Manor is more akin to a large house or mansion. I am often hesitant to offer this kind of correction because I feel like it sometimes sounds conceited, or as if I am trying to be superior to you somehow. I honestly don't feel that way and am just offering the correction because I feel like I would like to be corrected myself. I respect you for having learned a second language, it's more than I can say for myself.

  Unless he lives in a manor, then it works actually. But my witty jokes aside, that reminds me of Little Snitch for Mac OS, which keeps installed programs from opening unauthorized connections to the outside. Is there a firewall setup that works this way for an entire home network? Possibly something that could be run on a small device/router?

  You know "manor" is an apropos typo, signifying LG being haughty, privileged and out-of-touch living in this really expensive house they built with the money from paying customers that they are treating like cyber-peasants. I wish I knew a name for a homophonic typo which suggests criticism in that way, I used to know a guy who made typos like that all the time, emails from him had a kind of surreal meta-level quality to them. It is kind of a mondegreen, but not quite. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mondegreen

  You'll find that people that have english as their first language tend to make that kind of mistakes more often than people who have it as a second language. In my case, for example, my first language is spanish, where everything sounds as it's written. When I see mistakes like writing "manor" instead of "manner", or "should of" instead of "should have" I can't help but think that I would never make that kind of mistake, because of the way people learn english as a second language in comparison to a first language.

    This might be also because you learned English when you already knew how to read, which isn't the case for people learning it as a first language.

  Although manor is oddly apt, don't dare act up in my manor!

Or if you're in the EU, where this sort of thing is quite likely to be illegal, complain to your local Data Protection Commissioner.
