Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.

That’s it, they need to roll out ads in BIOS

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 119 points 11 months ago

Want to change your boot order?

You'll need to watch a 30 second ad, or subscribe for ad free BIOS for just 1.99/month

Nah you'll have to download a half-english app, sign up on a website you haven't heard before, request BIOS access code, wait up to a month and then you can do that

If they are gonna put advertisements in the bios then ill flash my pc with libreboot

BaaS??! Oh FFS. It's too real.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 7 points 11 months ago

Thankfully no results from any actual BaaS companies yet

[-] Plopp@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Key word: yet 😅

[-] androidisking@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Don't give them any ideas. They are watching the forums 😂

The funny part is that windows will change your boot order back without your consent.

[-] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 20 points 11 months ago

Would technically be doable in UEFI.... But I'm not mad enough to bring this shit to the world

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 24 points 11 months ago

Anyone who does should be trialed for crimes against humanity.

Creating an image of this and posting it on Lemmy = guaranteed XYZ upvotes.

Who wants to do it?q

[-] uranibaba@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Just comment or comment with post?

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Aren't there already? With vendor splash screens and all the graphics in the BIOS settings menus? Why don't I get paid every time Asrock gets to display their logo on my monitor at boot?

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

don't give them ideas, lol

[-] Dremor@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Considering they allow to install application on the bios command (Armory Crate, that kind of shit), consider it already done.
