    At least when I open up Mac OS, it doesn’t show me a pop up ad telling me how XBOX CONTROLLERS COME IN SO MANY COLORS NOW click here to buy.

    I’ve gotten that pop up the last 3 times I’ve booted up my windows machine.

    Windows is great for gaming. But it’s the only thing I turn that machine on for.

        The very first thing you have to do when you start to use a new Windows or phone is to spend an hour or two disabling all the bullshit options.

        I’m also surprised that people see this kind of ads: I haven’t seen any since I removed Outlook free (after Windows prompted me to switch because the older UWP Mail app was being retired). I’m always surprised when people complain about the number of ads they get in Windows.

        But that’s not the point: the point is no paid software should contain any ad.

      Not that I condone that notification, as I equally hate it too, but if you right-click it, you can tell Windows to never show those notifications ever again. I haven’t gotten one since doing that.

      It’s still shitty, nonetheless, and I still fucking hate Windows. Only use it because I have to for work and gaming, for the most part.

      If you can’t even find the option to disable suggestions, can you even call yourself a computer expert?
