WHAT THE FLYING FUCK WINDOWS???

You change the icon for the multi desktop button... ok fine,

son of a bitch now contains Bing Ads

Fuck you Windows, and Fuck me for not being able to find a linux distro that will fucking boot after install correctly, and FUCK you acer for not having linux support.

    @Floydian i found the "suggestions" in timeline, god i hate the update = opt in to next round of BS.

    @Floydian thats true, it is pretty stable.

    and blocking most tracking requests is not easy, they seem to add more from time to time.

    but this lets add even more ads, regardless of whether you want them or not is getting out of control.

    @Floydian I’ve stumbled on that before, I’m not entirely comfortable dropping a host file that big into windows 🤣

    Although some of those lists are covered with Ublock.

    @Bl4ck0u7 except i don’t visit or have FileZilla 🤷‍♂️

    @Bl4ck0u7 probably not, I don’t use FileZilla.

    @C0D4 The timeline is your history. Maybe you typed Filezilla in the search bar and it opened Edge?

    @jAsE-Official in edge?
    Now we are getting far fetched. The only time edge is opened is for when windows wants me to know what’s new and I just close it.

    I think I’m missing something, I stopped using FileZilla years ago due to the bad connection dropouts it had, I have no reason to go look at it or even type it in to any browser.

    @Floydian I use a lot of things people would probably frown upon 😂

    GDrive is one of them.

    @RootPixl release preview for drivers, apps and fixes, aka: the very slow ring.

    Seems more stable then windows (stable) and I don’t deal with the frantic fast ring crashes.

    Just checked mine, got no ads at all 🤔

    It is your browser history and the second row I thought might be the ad you were talking about but it's just a tutorial, uuuh so evil
  • 2
    @CristCD that’s what I thought too, except both Edge and IE have no history, for the simple fact I don’t use them.

    @Condor it’s public, and download as zip, he’ll never know it was you 😇

    @Floydian Here's some shit for you. In order to trigger achievements properly in Forza Horizon 3, I had to turn telemetry back on. 😠

    I don't see ads. I see search history from Bing and a visit to the page. Someone else is using your computer or you typed Filezilla into the search bar. I've never seen Bing ads on that screen. I don't use it extensively though.

    @Floydian I was just speaking about Windows in general, not the cool stuff you provided. I'm going to try that out later. 😁

    @C0D4 oh, I use the fastest ring, it's cool, but it's really unstable, GSoD can become on your screen kind of...always, when you work, when you sleep, when you eat, almost always

    These are not Bing ads, but your history, asshole.

    If you can't use me, just don't.
