Mac nerd question! Just updated my Mac OS and now there is an annoying window that pops up constantly, trying to get me to sign into iCloud (I do not want iCloud) and configure "smart" crap (I do not want more AI). No matter what I do, the window will not go away -- it goes into the dark pattern of taking me to settings, and when I hit "cancel" on iCloud, the other pop-up returns to remind me to sign into iCloud. Anyone know how to get rid of the iCloud reminder window?
