Razer was always low quality garbage at premium prices. Gamer marketing for you.
What do you recommend instead? In my opinion the Razer mice are always superior for FPS.

Logitech all the way. Logitech is a truly innovative company. They actually care deeply about ergonomics. They also introduced the first mass market application of programmable magnets (in the MX Master mouse scroll wheel) - that's incredibly advanced materials science.
They also managed to develop a steaming pile of shit called Logi Options+ which you need to set up your mouse (I only used the mac version to be fair)
it's worth noting that the price of these monitors got cut in half due to this news -- great for the linux users out there
Still seeing them for ~600 everywhere, which is completely in line with historic pricing: https://tweakers.net/pricewatch/2246090/lg-ultragear-oled-34...
This is so much worse that the title makes it out to be: 1. Your OS installs malware (technically manufacturers software) from a 3rd party vendor in background, zero user interaction 2. Happens as soon as you or anyone with physical access plug in a device into the HDMI port 3. That malware has internet and full system access, no sandboxing 4. It starts with every system boot 5. This software gets installed when you…
>This situation has.. no precedent as far as I can tell.. Printer, mouse, tablet and display tablet makers use this to insert their crapware since at least Windows Vista or Windows 7, I think. The last one I remember is plugging a Razer mouse just to watch it instantly pulling 1.5GB of bloated junk with "telemetry" exfiltrating the data from my gaming PC in realtime. At least it doesn't leave my mouse in a non-workin…
I don't trust Microsoft not to be a modern capitalist, but I trust the companies they enable even less.

That's just a parallel fact, no one's "acting" like anything? What were you actually trying to say?
I am saying that people here seem to be appealing to Microsoft as an authority that should be interested in stopping this, perhaps because they are morally superior or concerned about their reputation. They are not.
When folks ask "Why doesn't Linux have a stable binary DDK API" this is one of the inevitable downsides of having it.

You do, when you're responding to "Do you even know how drivers work? (I'm guessing no, based on this comment)". I'm merely giving them back their toxic comment right back.
I'm not sure how I missed they did it first, but doing it more isn't really helping. Oh well, I shouldn't have said anything, it's not great but it's not worth fussing about. Though there is a limit to how much you can effectively sandbox a driver for most devices. They do have a point even if they made it badly. I know you listed some methods but they don't generalize to arbitrary devices very well.

Likely not, but the rarer cases could always be exceptions.
Most devices, screens, printers, mice, audiocards, etc should not have to go through this, at least not for basic functioning.
Which is why I like e.g. "class compliant" devices for example, whereas the configurations can be managed directly from the OS with no third party driver loaded. Some of those do come with the custom proprietary driver, but for most I don't even bother installing it.
