It is quite telling that a mainstream portal like Ars Technica is publishing an article on how to de-clutter and de-AI Windows.

On that subject I really miss deep technical publications these days. Anandtech is gone and it was already down the hole when its namesake left for Apple. Ars never was really deep but it seems more shallow these days. Here in Europe we had ix but it stopped publishing in Holland (not sure if it's still in Germany).
