I realize that this is what I get for using #Windows , but why is it suddenly putting news about the NBA on my laptop's login screen? I haven't the tiniest shred of interest in the NBA.
@ceoln@qoto.org Is that Windows 11?
It's not quite an ad; it's like I guess the latest scores and things. Recently the weather forecast started to appear on the login screen, which was fine. Maybe I'm in some A/B test group or something.
@trinsec Found it! Under like "Settings > accounts > sign-in options > lock screen personalization" there's a "Lock screen status" that lets you "Choose an app", and it was set to "Weather and more", which apparently includes NBA updates lol.
There doesn't seem to be a "None", but I set it to "Devhome" (what?) and now it isn't showing anything extra. Some day I'm sure it will start to show something annoying.
@ceoln@qoto.org Huh. I know they're adding ads to Win11. But Win10? I use Win10 and don't see ads. You probably have some setting there that you gotta fiddle with. Maybe some half-assed plugin for login screens or whatever?
