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
not in Europe
You are allowed to send ads to your own customers. A bit questionable if that then have to include unsubscribe and doing it when you dont want it. Think if TV makers did the same.
Use Linux and quit worrying about this kind of shit.
That's like telling a smoker "just stop smoking and you'll be healthier".
A joke will at least get more positive reactions. It may convey the same message. -sad penguin noises-
It is perfectly legal. That's what you get for using and choosing a shitty corporation's useless operating system while harassing GNU/Linux users for decades. Frankly, all of you Microsoft bootlickers are getting what you deserve.
No one but MS wants this. Stop strawmanning people, you dolt. No one hates on Linux for its lack of ads.
I really don't know why I bother reading the comments on any windows posts. It's just full of Linux users trying to convert people.
It's not going to happen. Most of us use our computers for leisure, not to have to find workarounds for most anything.
That's an odd way of saying "I don't like Arch users"
The audacity to even ask! I ain't even bothered by installing genuine versions of Windows anymore. All I'll ever run is AME Windows. It's basically Microsoft Windows but without Microsoft services. They recently changed a lot as they went from distributing ISO files to playbooks. You should definately check it out! https://ameliorated.io/
In the US and never got this popup, not sure if I did something different?
They usually choose a subset of customers to try UI changes on before rolling it out to everyone. This way they can estimate the general reaction before committing to it. They probably also have a dozen different layouts and text for this dialog that they are testing to see what makes people most likely to click yes. Its all just statistics to them.
I am in the EU
It should not be ... but it seems to be tolerated/ignored by most people ... so it continues.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
