Second round of 7 ads while the game is going on?? What are BLAST mods doing?
On Android, use S0undTV for Twitch to watch without ads. Another way is to use Firefox + ublock origin + YouTube as u/NotWokeEnough or Revanced/SmartTube as u/itissafedownstairs mentioned here

The New AppleTV App Update Is Trash
I picked up a fire tv stick (they are on sale for $30, $35 for the 4k max version which I got) sideloaded S0undTv and it's better than the official twitch app in pretty much every way. 3rd party emotes, chatting, multi view, vod chat, it's got it all. Highly recommend.

Windows 11 has made the “clean Windows install” an oxymoron
FYI, Classic Shell is discontinued, long live the https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu

Two sides of people not being able to upgrade to Windows 11
Finally, to get a decent start menu and context menu back Explorer patcher and Shell work wonders. There is also Open shell if you want that classic Windows 7-10 look, but personally I think it looks dated in comparison. The Win11 start menu looks fine, it's just missing core functionality.

Open-Shell-Menu is a collection of utilities that can return some of your favorite features to newer versions of Windows. Revel in the glory of classic-style features like a Start menu for Win 7, 8 & 10; tool and status bars for Windows Explorer; title and status bars for Internet Explorer.

Steam dropping support for Windows 7/8/8.1 on January 1, 2024
if you don't like the new taskbar, start menu, or the new right click menu, you'll want to grab ExplorerPatcher, Open-Shell, and WinAero Tweaker which will effectively make 11 look and feel like 10 again. sometimes i genuinely forget that i'm using 11
