I wouldn't go as far as to say I hate Windows, but I (don't) appreciate the reminder that our interests aren't always aligned.
I generally do not look up stocks on a daily basis, and I certainly don't need them on my lockscreen, but they're there now! There doesn't seem to be any obvious setting to turn them off either, sadly.
The option for "Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen" is already disabled too...
#Windows11 devient officiellement un logiciel publicitaire : #Microsoft intègre des publicités dans le menu Démarrer, visibles pour tout le monde.
😡🤬😡🤬😡
Heureusement, elles sont encore (pour combien de temps ?) désactivables dans les paramètres.
Comme le dit si bien @sebsauvage :
« Et dire qu'il y en a qui payent pour avoir ça...! »
🤦♂️
Has anyone else experienced anything similar to my #Windows11 laptop with an #NVIDIA GPU (it's a 1660 Ti) with 32GB RAM just suddenly going greyscale? It's fixed by a reboot but it happens every month or so. It's just super weird.
Alrighty... So with Windows 11 rolling out ads to the start menu I am going to start looking for a Linux daily driver. I have been eyeing Mint but does anyone have any recommendations?
Specific things I am looking for:
-Gaming (Nividia GPU)
-Not "fiddly" - I just want it to work.
Microsoft is adding new “recommendations” to your Start Menu. Basically, we’re getting more ads in Windows 11. Thankfully it’s pretty easy to disable this new “feature” in your settings. https://somegadgetguy.com/b/44V
Warum es mich so wurmt und ich euch #Windows-User*innen so vehement darauf aufmerksam mache, dass #Windows11 zur #AdWare verkommt?
(#Microsoft will Werbung auf Betriebssystem-Ebene einblenden, wo die mE absolut nichts zu suchen hat!)
Beispiel:
Du nutzt Deinen Computer um ein persönliches #Tagebuch zu schreiben.
Du vertraust dem Gerät deine persönlichsten, intimsten Gedanken an, die keine andere Person etwas angehen sollen.
Doch dann zeigt Dir Windows genau dazu passende Werbung an.
>> Wie würde sich das für Dich anfühlen? <<
Der Umstieg zu #Linux ist wirklich nicht kompliziert und selbst "Oma Erna" kann damit perfekt zurechtkommen!
Microsoft is bringing more obnoxious "recommendations" (aka ads) to the Windows 11 start menu, but thankfully they're pretty easy to disable. https://youtube.com/shorts/L0ca9iAg-Q4
Question for the #Linux crowd. Does anyone know of a distribution which would work on a Microshaft Surface Pro 7? Now that MS has infected my tablet with uninstallable Copilot, I would like to return their favor and uninstall Windows. Any help is appreciated!
My PC has just told me that it can't run Windows 11, but that Windows 10 will be out of support from October 2025. I have news for you Microsoft, I don't have a spare £1k (or even half that) for a new gaming rig just because you don't like mine. It'll be Linux for me if you force me.
Why is #Windows is stupid? Why can't I watch a #YouTube video in peace without the taskbar showing when I am in fullscreen... Or, why can't I tab out a fullscreen game without the taskbar disappearing? #Microsoft#Windows11#Windows10
