- Comment on Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone 2 months ago:
When they rolled out the beta Microsoft said it wouldn’t be, but they could always change their mind with the general release. Excerpt from a previous Verge article about the beta rollout (theverge.com/…/microsoft-windows-11-start-menu-ad…):
“This will appear only for Windows Insiders in the Beta Channel in the US and will not apply to commercial devices (devices managed by organizations),” says Microsoft in a blog post.
Unfortunately, this article doesn’t actually quote Microsoft saying it’s rolling out to ALL machines. That bit in the article are from the author.
- Comment on VPN by Google One is shutting down for good 2 months ago:
Google is removing the VPN and free shipping (which was only available on some photo orders) to make way for more “in demand features”?
I could understand if this was coming from a smaller company with more limited resources and staff, but that’s not Google by any means.
They really don’t care about the poor reputation the general public has of them regarding shutting down services on a whim.
What’s worse though is they don’t seem to realize that, with the exception of Android and maybe Google Docs, their services/products are easily replaced by competitor offerings.
In my opinion it’s a good thing if Google gets knocked of their high horse and allow competition to flourish in their place.

This means I no longer have to use my workaround command that loads a new terminal window with admin privileges!
Now, I might not completely loathe using Windows at work.

My search results were showing Firefish th CRM/Recruiting software as well (used DDG).
Seems like the devs might want to consider changing the project name or work on SEO.
