  There any custom versions you can point me to? I’ve been looking for a custom Android OS to install on my Insignia Fire TV.

  I turned off that AI stuff as soon as I saw it. Click the gear icon in Notepad in the upper right to open settings and turn it off.

  I know Steam itself says it doesn’t track your playtime while you’re playing offline.

  Windows accepts either one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft just paused Windows 11 24H2 update for many PCs due to crashes and freezes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had the odd stability issue every now and then. (There was one ongoing issue with my wifi that was caused by a bug in my manufacturer’s driver, but that was years ago on Windows 10, and they eventually fixed it.) But I honestly haven’t had any issues caused specifically by Microsoft recently that I can recall.

  Any problems caused by major features updates are usually solved by simply reinstalling the driver. (And I haven’t had any of those sorts of problems in at least a couple years.)

  It… only updates once a month, though. The second Tuesday of every month.

  IIRC, they’ve said they’ll implement V3 to maintain compatibility, but they’ll also continue to maintain V2. You, the extension developer, will not be forced to use V3 if you don’t want to.
