How did you not mention in-fucking-OS ads

[–] lmaydev@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I haven't seen those.

Can you turn them off? If so I likely did that already lol

Edit: just googled it you can turn them off. I must have done it as soon as I got 11. Still a PITA

What a non news.

That's a few less lines in my Windows install PowerShell script.

Get-AppxPackage zunevideo | Remove-AppxPackage | Out-Null

And now some Linux users will unironically state that they don't have to run any scripts on a fresh install...
