For my “convenience” and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

      My technics earbuds briefly connecting to my MacBook and my MacBook proceeding to launch an Apple Music sign up screen over whatever I’m working on in the 5 seconds between me turning music off on my phone and putting my earbuds away says otherwise. Apple are assholes too. They’re subtler about it than Microsoft but also much, much smugger.

        See? Apple wants you to have all of your shit connected to their proprietary spyware.

        And they did indeed start going through your files, they say they’re only doing it to check for CP, but lots of people who just had pictures of their own kids had false pedo-accusations thrown at them because of an AI that scanned and mis-identified completely legal content as something it wasn’t.

        Looks like you replied to the wrong person. This should have been for the person above them who claims that windows obeys settings that are set properly.

        Not the person who realises that’s a crock of s#!t

          registry tweaks are way more powerful than changing your settings in the UI of the settings app. Group policy editor is the same way.

          Like I said. Windows is great, you just need to know how to use it.
