Microsoft has apparently found the free time to build a standalone app whose only job is switching your default search engine to Bing across every browser on your PC. It is not force-installed through Windows Update yet, and it is not available in the Microsoft Store either. It is a standalone executable hosted on Microsoft’s official download servers, and we wonder why it even exists.

The app is called Microsoft Recommended Search Settings, and once installed, it prompts you to add extensions to all your installed browsers, which does the job of switching to the Bing homepage experience. After finishing installation, you also get redirected to the Microsoft Rewards page, which is basically a bribe for switching.

Look at the aliens. Look at us. Look at the aliens. Look at us. We are the upgrades. For them!

We've been enslaved to DNA, the aliens got soul-transfusion, we have been rapidly evolving DNA for them. You're all cattle, on a farm, and the farmers are underground and the entire moon. They never left, the crop is too important to them, that's why the only worse-case-scenario is alien interference in your life, and not global nuclear war or extinction-level asteroids.

The Designers need reincarnations of family units to entrain the neurophysiology to keep the con going. They want slow-kills and diseases and 2-digit lifespans, they designed that to keep generations crankin-out every 25 years.
