I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don't even use chrome, i've switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

And then again, next update. Cat. And. Mouse.

Meaning? That you need to update software? Of course you do. Even on Linux. But when you do you don't have to reboot, for example. Minor difference caused by a smart filesystem versus whatever the fuck windows uses these days.

They mean Microsoft will keep sneaking things like this into updates. We can stop them installing misfeatures if we know they're coming but Microsoft can at any time just roll out a new update with different adverts in. Unless we stop updating there's no way for us to select between legit updates and unwanted ads.

Yeah. Install Linux, problem solved.

It'll work until they do something else. It's the same old shit as always, update and pray that it holds together and that by the Torvalds none of your fucking repos are deprecated or out of date.

Edit: Hit a fucking nerve with that one haha. Rage harder n00bs. Downvotes don't mean shit here. Go back to Reddit you fucking losers.
