Immediately after logging in I got hit by a Windows 11 pop-up telling me Windows 10 is dead and that I gotta "upgrade" or else. Guess I'm getting my mark of the beast now

You can turn off those ads somewhere, and explorer patcher will let you have a normal taskbar and start menu again. (Or just use Linux if you don't absolutely need windows.)

I still need to figure out how to rip the stupid AI shit out of my windows computer though. Can't change the font size easily in notepad but you bet it has a built in llm textslop generator lmao

You can turn them off, but if you use a shared computer (like at work or school) the ~~ads~~ "headlines" still show up as long as the last person who signed in didn't go out of their way to disable this feature as well.

You can get rid of the AI ads on the lock screen just by setting your own lock screen photo. You lose the nice photography but the trade of is worth it
