They update on two Tuesdays a month

Correction: It updates every second Tuesday of the month. (Not including any potential "Preview" updates which might get released. Those are all optional updates, though.)

Fortunately it doesn't look like there were no consequences.

No word yet on legal consequences, but the court of public opinion has already sentenced him.

FYI, SmartTubeNext has been renamed to just SmartTube.

I'll also plug SmartTube, an Android TV app that has many of the more widely-used functions ReVanced has (blocks ads, supports SponsorBlock, etc.) among other things.

I remember I used to have an add-on (at least I think it was an add-on; didn't Spotify officially support those at some point?) that synced the lyrics of a song to the timestamp. It used user submissions to figure out the timestamps and edit the lyrics. It was pretty cool.

Isn't that just fruit juice, then?

Honestly, I have Windows working just the way I want it right now (and I do know enough to be able to wrangle it to do just what I want it to do), but I could do without so much spyware. That's the main reason I'm looking into Linux. Any way you know how to get rid of Windows' built-in spyware without impacting security at all or breaking anything too badly?

On a different note, I have actually been looking for a new antivirus, preferably a free but very good one. Norton (my dad subscribed to it and got like 10 license keys years ago and shared with the family) has become too much like adware for me in recent years. Your comment has been helpful with that.

I think I've tried Ventoy before, actually. I didn't know it did persistent installs.

Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to enable my PC to boot from a USB device. It uses the most recent version of the MyAsus UEFI, the one that looks like this picture I pulled from online (minus the red outline, obviously):

You don't happen to know how to enable booting from a device from there, do you? All the guides I found online were for an older version of the Asus UEFI settings.

I've read in a few different places that, unfortunately, more recent Windows bootloader's can break dual-boot setups.

I'm sure some did, but, unfortunately, those people aren't the ones making the business decisions.

The "line must go up" people are in charge because "line must go up" investors are saying the "line must go up".
