This is probably a good reminder to not be tempted to buy random brand mini-PCs off Amazon and AliExpress.

Now that's a bit naughty. I would hope that the skill level of those who use mini-PC's for use-cases other than pure aesthetic would be able to nuke both partitions and start afresh anyway, sidestepping this type of shithousery.

The irony isn't lost on me that a site with more adverts than article words, quarter-page banner ads, and a convoluted GDPR consent tool has the gall to moan about spyware.

I was reading this article from my company's iPhone (everything set to default basically) and look the ad they served me

An ad that talks about removing ads XD
