Pull the other on! Considering the amout of tinkering you do with your
devices, you`re no `amateur` by a long shot. But if you prefer
`enthusiast` instead of `nerd`, that`s fine by me! :-)

I get no ads on my Windows 10 laptop. During installation I disabled
all setting which even hinted at ads, snooping, etc.. Also I use a local

in? If so, that might be (part of) the problem.
