You know you could do that since forever with a laptop, yeah?
Laptop gamers are having LAN parties every single day.
Even though I have multiple desktops, I couldn’t live without the flexibility of gaming wherever I want. It becomes so much more social if the person you are playing with sits next to you.
But good on you that you discovered the wonderfulness that is LAN. (yeah I know it is online, you get what I am saying)
Sheesh, talk about overreaction.
Almost all commercial software are advertising their manufacturers other stuff. Ever installed a graphics card driver? How many ads does that show for games and software that can run on the card? Steam also pushes sales by pop-up advertisements.
Google has been fined multiple times because they went much further than just advertising their own stuff.
Can you disable ads on an ad platform with a single setting? Didn’t think so.
So no, Windows 11 is not an ad platform, not even close.
