Gross because the lock screen insists on serving me dumb ass photos with """interesting""" factoids, in an attempt to ???

Gross because I clicked somewhere by accident and the bottom right of my screen was filled with news snippets and some MS ads.

Hilarious because I wanted to change the (default ?) UI scaling from 150 to 100%; there was no obvious way to just type "scaling" somewhere and get to the point, instead I navigated three layers deep through the settings panel, which had three different visual design styles. I read all the windows design snark on HN, without really knowing what is what... turns out it REALLY is as bad as people make it out to be, haha.

You can change your lock screen to whatever you want.

I don't care what system I'm on, if I wanted to change display settings, I wouldn't search for scaling, I'd search for display settings.

I'm failing to see anything of substance here other than "I didn't immediately know how to do something."

Yea these suck but you can turn them off. In lock screen settings, and the 2nd one if you right click on it you can turn it off.
