      I know, bad habit. But I just couldn't care less about those stupid agreements. I just want the damn popup gone.

          I do the same. I'm close to just delete my samsung account because I don't really need and/or use it.

          True. I genuinely don't use i either.

          Then again, I'm rolling an S20 Ultra+ that just does everything excellently still. If I want to extend its life as long as possible, I should just load on another OS and solve the Samsung issue that way.

              Graphene OS is a privacy focused OS that runs on Pixel phones.

              Its not as seamless as native Google Android but it's still production worthy and works well enough for me

              I’m definitely glad it and others like it exist. But for phones isn’t the issue more with low-level
              hardware and firmware? I bet we really need Google to make “Pixel” an open platform and not just a device, so that we can have the “IBM compatible” of phones. But I trust the Google of today to do the opposite.

              Maybe RISC-V is what I’m waiting for? An open phone is going to need to run the same software as Linux PCs to have all that good FOSS support, and I don’t think I’ve rad any rumors about x86 phones, lol.

                Microsoft being bad at their jobs and leaving huge holes in their software does not mean you aren’t getting something for free that you’re supposed to pay for.

                Microsoft Home does cost money, and therefore should not have any ads. That’s it, that’s the end of it.

                      I was looking at that too and came to the same conclusion. I should probably migrate off apple at some point but Android in its current state is not viable for me.

                        At this point I don't even know what I'm supposed to pay for. I had two Windows 10 Pro licenses, transferred those with Microsoft on the phone from OEM to virtual machines, then reinstalled them with Windows 11 and had to activate them with Massgrave scripts. Am I supposed to be paying for those? I don't want to hire a lawyer.

                          I'm sure that they would choose to interpret the swipe to clear it as a click

                          but yeah my last phone I did that for several years. nope, no thank you.

                          every time I start my TV I have to say I don't want the new firmware because it comes with a new privacy policy / user agreement

                          I will need to buy a new TV soon, and the single biggest factor won't be price, features, or quality, it will be the absolute minimum smart features available. I'm fine with a sleep timer, and built-in audio smoothing would be great, but I can add anything else I want with a dongle that costs less than $100 (or just attach a full-blown computer to it). I'm not made of money, but I'm fortunate enough that I can afford to buy a TV with something other than an opportunity to invade my private life for marketing.

                          The other thing I'm looking for is a decent non-Google/Apple smartphone with an eye to privacy. A decent Linux phone would be great, Sailfish OS looks promising, maybe there are other options. Hopefully my Samsung lasts until then. When one of their updates came out whose main feature seemed to be the ability to spy on you everywhere, I closed my account and don't even have that logged in anymore. There are a number of interesting features I can't use, and a lot of terrible features I don't want, that aren't available to me anymore. A smartphone that belongs to me, and not some corporate conglomerate would be nice. We'll see.

                            I’d love to own my own devices but I’m so addicted to my phone I can’t handle pulling out my lighter, smaller, always charged debit card and so will continue to give up my ownership rights so I can continue to be mildly inconvenienced.

                            I'd love to stay private, but I'm so addicted to giving my financial information to banks that I can't handle pulling out a lighter, fee-free, no-Internet-access-required, and nearly universally-accepted banknote from my wallet and so will continue to give up data about my spending so I can continue to be mildly inconvenienced.

                                  Fucked if I know. All I’m saying is that if Microsoft has a price tag on it then they shouldn’t put ads and the only reason I replied to that first comment was because it was saying that ads are ok if the product is free(and it isn’t). The only times Windows has been free for me is from college but that is paid for, one way or another.

                                    Simple things like turning off the computer isn’t intuitive.

                                    Lol like that's even possible in Windows. I can't remember the last version I had where the "Power Off" option actually worked. I still just hold down the physical power button until I hear that click.

                                    It used to be that if you disabled hibernate or something, it would actually shut down completely then start back up fresh when powered on, instead of that hybrid startup thing.

                                    If there's some new, worse version then I have no idea, lol.

                                      locked bootloaders and complicated processes to getting phones changed are crimes against humanity layman can't really perceive.

                                      wish i had solutions.

                                          I have a desktop I built in 2019 with no TPM running. Windows 10.

                                          Starting a couple of months ago, occasionally when it boots it will automatically open a full-screen ad for Windows 11.

                                          It's extremely disruptive because of my setup. I use my monitors and keyboard for my work laptop and have a KVM to switch between the two, and since I use that space for work I don't like to spend much time there for recreation. So I often turn my desktop on and run it headless whenever I'm done with work, and don't see the ad, which then messes up my attempts at streaming. So I need to walk back upstairs to switch the KVM and close out of it manually.

                                          No matter how many different "permanent" solutions I can find on the internet it keeps finding a way to do it again every couple of weeks. I've moved to Linux on most of the rest of my personal machines, but this desktop has all my old music production software that needs Windows. I'm getting pretty close to just investing in a different music production platform that works with Mint though.

                                          If it's supported by your hardware and software you're still using, I'd be tempted to blow away Windows 10 and put Windows 7 on there. I ran Windows 7 for several years after support ended - best Windows experience ever. Rock solid stable and no hassles of having to deal with updates. I eventually moved onto Linux after continuing to run Windows 7 for general desktop usage started to become unfeasible, but for something that just needs to run Windows to do some specific things, I'd definitely consider it.
