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.
Actually, from what I can tell in my brief 15-minute internet search, every version of Windows since NT has accepted both because DOS 2.0 supported both. The exception to this was Command Prompt. But, these days, it supports both. Not sure when they made that change in Command Prompt, but I think it’s been that way since at least Windows 7.
Technically, Windows understands both / and \. I personally always use / just because it’s easier to type that.
Yeah, I think Firefox’s translation feature is technically still in beta.
From the SmartTube GitHub:
install Downloader by AFTVnews on your Android TV, open it and enter
kutt.it/stn_beta
orkutt.it/stn_stable
, then read, understand and confirm the security prompts. (You can also enter 79015 (for beta) or 28544 (for stable), but this requires an extra step to install the AFTVnews Downloader browser addon if you haven’t already.)
The AFTVnews Downloader is available on both Google Play and Amazon Fire TVs. After installing SmartTube, it can self-update on its own without needing another app.
It supports casting via the YouTube phone app (or YouTube ReVanced app).
Kodi—It can connect to a media source via FTP, so I was able to effortlessly connected it to my online storage to download shows and movies from it to watch on the fly, and on my TV no less. Without that, it’d be a huge pain just to get the file onto my TV.
SmartTube—It’s an ad-free YouTube video app for Android TVs, and it has Sponsorblock included. You could say it’s YouTube Vanced for Android TVs.
Discord bots—I’ve setup my own personal Discord server (no other humans allowed in it) and set it up with various bots that do things ranging from posting tweets/ posts from Twitter/ Bluesky to letting me know when specific channels have uploaded a new video on YouTube or gone live on Twitch. I’ve also got another bot monitoring some RSS feeds.
Firefox has translation now, too, on both mobile and desktop.
And you can optionally add the Google Translate extension to desktop Firefox if you want. (It really is convenient, isn’t it?)
And you can always just plug in the URL of whatever page you’re trying to translate directly into https://translate.google.com/.
Didn’t they recently go public? They’re traded as RDDT on the New York Stock Exchange.
“Wait, it’s an oligarchy?”
“Always has been.”
To be clear, uBlock Origin isn’t the problem, either.
YouTube is.
I’ll also add The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC. I know there’s a remake coming out next year, but there’s a bunch of shady stuff surrounding how they’re gonna localize it. (Supposedly, they’re gonna use AI to try to do most of it and then have real people brush it up.)
So I’d recommend playing the original instead. It’s a 2.5D game with a mostly 360° camera. It uses turn-based combat, but not traditional turn-based combat. And it has a great story.
It’s also on sale for only US$9.99 on GOG (which is DRM-free) and Steam.
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.
Do not go in knowing anything.
The most I will tell you is that it’s an adventure game with some minor tower defense elements. And that it is the best game I’ve ever played, and no game has ever topped it since.

Did you make sure you have several GBs of free memory on the device while patching? At least until recently, ReVanced Manager would throw an error if it ran out of memory, and it actually needed (if I recall correctly) around 8 GB of free memory in order to finish the patching process or it’d throw one of several errors, depending on where in the process it ran out of memory.
Supposedly they’ve fixed this issue with the latest update to ReVanced Manager, which included a new patching process, but I haven’t had a chance to test it.
Edit: Also, did you use the default patch selections? While there are other patches available to select and deselect, using anything other than the default selections can sometimes make things a little unstable. I once ran into an issue with patching, and the solution was just… reset the patch selection to just use the default patches. And it suddenly worked.
Did you make sure to turn on the “GmsCore Support” patch? (I think it used to be called “MicroG Support”.) You have to enable that patch on unrooted devices in order for the app to work.
There’s an add-on to help find the people you followed on Twitter on Bluesky, FYI.

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.)
My lack of knowledge about whatever an emacs plugin is proves #4 wrong.
