Windows 11 is getting out of hand with its push for advertisments, frankly - remember the recent full-screen pop-up to persuade users to install Edge or other Microsoft services? Then another advertisment was placed in the Start menu, and now Microsoft has finally worn my temper thin - with a new Game Pass ad coming to the Settings app.

This will likely arrive in the July update for Windows 11, or at least it’s almost certain to do so. It was present in the latest preview update Microsoft just released for the OS (and quickly paused due to a bug, but that’s another story). It’s also worth noting that the ad has been present in earlier test versions of Windows 11.

I third Mint. Very easy setup (just check your system is compatible before you try).

Also it’s ‘laser’ (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation).

Funnily enough my phone corrected it to Lazer when I typed laser the first time

Just another fun quirk of the Google keyboard on Android lately, autocorrecting words to the incorrect spelling

No worries. Thought it was a typo. Bizarre correction for it to make.

Oh yeah it was a typo but it was autocorrected weird, the keyboard on my phone has definitely been making some odd choices for corrections lately.

At least it’s better than search results via Google, those have gone to shit lately

I didn’t know laser was an acronym! Cool!

I know right. I wonder if there are any other words that are unexpectedly acronyms.
