I just saw this on a laptop at the @bsidesnova conference...

Ads.

On the lockscreen.

How. How do people live like this? Like seriously. Inundated by ads. I mean, not just the tracking and surveillance behind it... but blatant ads everywhere.

They PAY microsoft to show them ads on their lockscreen.

Remember adware? That would gum up your browsers in the early aughts? Like... that was considered malware at the time and removed by antivirus.

Can you turn this off? Is this a third party widget or something?

What....
