Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

    My work forgot to remove game mode and a bunch of the built-in advertisement stuff from the workstation images they were using a while back, and I work for state government.

      I’ve also worked in state government. I am both surprised and not surprised to hear this.

        I used to work for a state University medical system. I spent weeks slimming down an image, making sure it worked, and removed all unnecessary functions. Then some director wanted solitaire and I had to change the image to include the games package. Not just his computer. Oh no. In case his PC needed reimaged, we must change the entire image and deploy to everyone.
