No, no - it’s German for “The Windows! The!”

I’m on the insider build and haven’t seen any of this. If I do then I’m off. That’s a red.line as far as I’m concerned.
I’ll load up EndeavourOS (it’s already on my laptop) and they can shove it. Pity as it was genuinely getting good. So many things that worked seamlessly and effortlessly compared to some of the Linux stuff.
But I’ll not have ads in my OS.

One time a company I worked for sent an hr message out telling people not to look at stock prices on work time. And yet, all the windows build servers displayed stock ticker information in the bottom left.
Anywaus fuck microsoft as usual. I hope it’s just as busted as the news ads in the stupid weather menu thing.
