      that’s a pretty silly thing to say, considering multiple technology websites have been posting similar screenshots and reporting on this for well over a year, ever since it was announced the ads were coming. was it bullshit when PC Mag reported on it? when CNET reported on it? when any one of the dozens of other sites did? was it bullshit when Microsoft themselves said they were coming?

      it’s bullshit because why? you fanboy microsoft? ok, that’s fine, you’re entitled to your opinion, but ads all over Windows is a fact of life now, and no amount of denial from you is going to change the objective reality. they’ve said they are going to be pushing advertising to more areas of windows. they don’t give a shit if their users don’t want to believe that. they didn’t ask for your opinion on the matter.

      Can you recreate it?

      I would never subject myself to that sort of enshitified corporate bullshit. I value my time far too much to use windows. so to answer your question, I refuse to debase myself by recreating it. if you’re into that sort of stuff I won’t kink shame you too much, but that ain’t for me, fam.

            Here’s what I am gifted with: VMWare workstation pro and a Windows 11 25H2 iso. Just did a fresh install of Win 11 Home, and shockingly enough, TERMINAL IS THE FIRST RESULT FOR TERMINAL IN THE START MENU. No IMDB listing at all. So unless you are gonna to try and recreate the screenshot above, like I just did, STFU.

                  yes, I did, you just didn’t have any retort to it. we’re still waiting on you to explain why it’s bullshit when microsoft announced it themselves and it’s been covered on dozens of tech journalism sites since early 2024. there’s literally a toggle in the control panel to turn personalized ads off.

                    You were wrong about this from the beginning, so go back to reading CNET and jerking off about Linux superiority.
