What's wrong?
It's November 2022 now
Also the device should've received Android 12 by now, yet it's still on Android 11
Manually update it.

Test how good your computer is at doing math. 3DS and Wii U online after shutdown.

Seems like you have an outdated ROM. You should probably flash a newer version of the same ROM (recommended) or LineageOS (not recommended, unless a] your device is supported and b] you know what you are doing)

Mod's Protogen Maker v2 released. I will update it when I will update it

What is the spyware called? If it's on Windows, install WindowsFX instead. It has a free trial and will soon become trash after being installed, but it should work for a bit. If it's on macOS, then install PearOS.

Fun fact: If you have malware on a Windows NT device, it's possible that deleting system32 will severely damage the malware. It will also damage your Windows install.

You could just use WSL, install a desktop environment inside that, and use a Windows-based X11 client like VcXsrv to basically connect to the DE. I use this on my development PC and it works well for regular work.

You can't really play any OpenGL games like Minecraft over 6 FPS, ( WSL GPU is virtualized :skull: ) but that is probably not something you want to do anyway.

But if you actually want to try it on bare-metal, I would just flash a Linux operating system of your choice to a USB (PopOS is nice) and boot from it.

I was joking around about Windows being spyware, she seems to think the computer, by having Windows, can only run Windows, and not Linux. I just got a USB drive to download Ubuntu to, and am moving the iso file to the drive via her laptop.

My Steelseries Rival 3 (not wireless) kinda died. It will only very rarely detect left mouse clicks. Other buttons work fine. I used to drag click on it all the time (which is probably the problem). Any solution that doesn't involve getitng another mouse? thx

p.s. it was working perfectly fine earlier today

also wanted to say that i had a rival 3 wireless that also died, i might not get a steelseries mouse again if i have to get another one (budget: <$100 cad so no g502 lol)

Windows 8.1 loses support in just a few months, I wouldn't recommend that. I would recommend straight to Windows 10, and if that's too slow then get and install an SSD as it will double, triple, or maybe even quadruple the performance of the device.
