Using a work computer for anything is a pain when I can't install an adblocker. It really is an entirely different internet. I don't know how people get anything done. We're also locked into whichever version of Windows it is that shows a bunch of news stories every time you click on the taskbar. Not only does it take up like half of the monitor, it's the most inflammatory boomer ragebait you ever did see. I think the same page is the default home page for the browser as well. I would switch back to Windows for personal use if the OS still looked like it did back in the Vista/7 era. I like a good drop down menu with some text. But everything in modern Windows is massive brightly colored squares with unlabeled emojis.

Ads don't register for me anymore, I'm stubborn as hell sometimes so it just filter them out and it's basically a slightly irritating free game of whackamole. When the do register its a reminder to consciously avoid buying that product for a while.

Even on my work PC I didn't need any admin access to get uBlock Origins installed 2) I'm 99%sure you can turn those news things off. Right click the Taskbar, go to News and Interest -> Turn Off:  In 11 I think it's a bit different, but close. Right-click the taskbar -> Taskbar settings, turn widgets off.

cat food gets shittier constantly. I feed my cats Wellness and they've changed recipe twice in as many years, once to the point that my cats refused to eat it which is very bad for cats  and it's just for the normal reason which is needing to post higher profits every quarter

Disney Plus: Remember when you paused half-way through an episode of the Simpsons? Me: Sure, but that was 3 seasons ago, I don't know why you're bringing it up now - D+: I cherish that memory. Let's start the autoplay there. Every time. Forever.

My job actually installed ublock origin on every computer. It's even some funky managed version of it and not just the app store's version. Really snazzy.

This makes me spend the first few minutes remembering where and getting back to my stopping point. Awesome tech.

You’d think that getting to the credits and clicking “Next Episode” would mark that episode as watched so a subsequent viewing would start from the beginning - right? Every episode starts about 80% through and she has to rewind back to the beginning. Welcome to your future, kiddo.

The one thing I haven't figured out is how to make opening a new tab not show me a wall of Facebook style boomer rage bait.

I'm guessing that YouTube lowered the quality of 1080p video, labeled the previous decent quality of 1080p video as "enhanced" and wants money for it. Kinda like "family size" food packaging. nothing on youtube is worth paying for, or watching a single ad for. shut up and play videos, or don't, I don't care.

I google locations pretty often by typing them in the browser search bar. It's faster than opening google maps because the map will appear at the top of the search results. Recently they've started neutering the map so that it doesn't have full map functionality or link to the actual map page. It's poo poo.

It MIGHT be forced on you by your organization through GPO, but you might be able to change it: In Edge, click the three dots, go to settings, then in the left nav go to "Start, home, and new tabs" and just change it:  That part might be forced, but even if you HAVE to have the "New Tab" page is the thing that, by default in Edge, will have the click-bait Boomer rage poo poo, you can also just click the gear on that home page itself and turn off content:

FYI, Patreon just released an update and, surprise, it's poo poo! No more pure chronological feeds. It's all group by the creator you follow, so you have to scroll through a bunch from Creator A before you get to any from Creator B, even if A hasn't updated recently but B has. And the logo is butt:

This happened to me a few times when I used to watch hockey. Every so often the channel was just blacked out, as a punishment for the stadium not selling out or some poo poo like that. Like, you only know this is happening when it happens, it's not announced ahead of time. What? Is someone really just going to panic buy a ticket 15 minutes after the game is started, go down through in my case, LA traffic, to catch half the game?
