I got one yesterday when restarting my series x to go look at sale items. Had to bypass via "no thanks" just to get to my home screen and play a game.
Well that's obnoxious. Though I guess to be fair, PlayStation, Switch, and Steam all do something similar.
With PS, it starts on the explore icon and shows sales, new games, etc, but also it's a quick tap to the right, press X, and you can start your game.
On Steam you can turn all that off though and have it load right into your library of games. I think Switch also lets you turn off that "what's new" screen that occasionally shows up? But I'm not sure.
Either way, I'm not a fan of ads intruding into every damn thing I do. Can't even open a menu now without getting hassled lmao
Well, they are expensive but my last macbook lasted me 11 years and is still usable today (though apple stopped giving it updates, not sure about security updates but it doesn't support the newer OS's). I just used the no new OS to push me into buying a new one (Honestly I love tech/computers so a computer lasting me 11 years before I cave to updating it is pretty damned good. Plus I finally could get the black laptop I wanted <- always wanted it in black and way back in the day you paid extra just for the color, at least this time the extra comes with tech upgrades too).
One of the big things that would stop me from switching to Mac is how poor the repairability and upgradability is for their laptops.
Can you even do storage space upgrades yourself anymore? Or is that soldered onto the board?
