Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it
To that I would argue why should IT need to waist their time turning that crap off. IT should be off by default.
It’s one group policy setting, that you only have to set one time.
You’re not wrong, but there’s a million little things you only have to do once, and this is one more.
Yeah, there are a lot of things that need doing. That’s why people have jobs in IT.
A classic parable of the broken Windows.
It shouldn’t even be part of an OS at all. I haven’t purchased Windows in probably about twenty years but if I did I would expect that if I pay for software, it’s not going to come and try to keep selling me more crap. This is just one of the reasons I use Linux.
