    Arika reacted to Holmes108 in The Windows 10 and 11 free trials (I mean upgrades) are no more   
    I don't doubt anyone elses experience, but it is jarring when I hear it because I don't experience it. And it seems odd that the experiences wouldn't be consistent. I've NEVER seen one on the start menu. I suppose there's maybe been a very occasional pop up in the notification area for a microsoft office product or something. But I can't think of the last time I saw that, so it doesn't bother me.
     
    It's only after a windows update, where I have to say "no thanks" once or twice about 365 or whatever that I have a slight eye roll. But again, at least it's Microsoft stuff, and not trying to sell me axe body wash. So yeah, not calling anyone a liar, but when people use terms like "riddled" with ads, it certainly vexes me.
     
    Edit: And this is on full, genuine Windows 10/11. Not some modified/bootlegged version, or using any types of ad blockers (if they even exist for the OS, I don' t know).
     
    Oh, and I'm not counting web search results in the start menu search either, although I do hate that "feature".

    Arika got a reaction from Fascinated Viewer in EU opens investigation into X (twitter)   
    I have seen plenty of disinformation from both supporters of isreal and supporters of palestine...i wonder which side kicked the EU into gear and will they be investigating the disinformation on both sides of the coin?

    This is the semi-traditional Forum type. If you prefer the Reddit style of forum there is an LTT Reddit.
    But as for my 2cents, this style is easier to track than the reddit mess of garbage that it is. Just saying.

    That’s what they should be releasing, and that’s what this should be. A simple USB C update to the Apple Pencil, with two SKUs. 
     
    but the marketing and finance department found out about the engineering department trying to improve the product.

    So you stuffed a bigger cpu into a prebuilt without making sure the machine had proper cooling and are somehow blaming the computer itself...
     
    And then in turn claim EVERY prebuilt that exists on earth is a mistake based on your botched upgrade. Amazing. The forums never fails to provide the most ironic jems
