Have to use Windows for work (I've asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification... That's clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

Unsolicited advertising in a paid operating system.

Almost as infuriating as ads coming over the Life Alert system.

You know those ads with the old lady like “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”. Little radio thing you wear around your neck to act as emergency channel to contact someone if you’re stuck somewhere.

Well, somebody decided old people with a comm device around their neck would make a great marketing segment for targeted ads. Through the fucking safety device.
