I realize a massive chunk of you nerds don't pay attention to mine or Raven's twitter accounts
Here's a post we made clearing up confusion about Betanet and crypto: x.com/ravendevteam/status/1956801092706066481
Here's a post I just posted talking about version 1.2 of the Betanet spec that's in the works right now. We have been listening carefully to your guys' feedback: x.com/ravendevteam/status/1957623227628327037
More to come, of course. I'll keep you guys posted. New video about it soon (I'm sure a lot of my pre-Betanet viewers are so tired of hearing about Betanet lmao)

Regarding the $25 Steam gift card challenge:
Challenge is over so I unlisted the video. The winner and details are being announced in the Discord server. Thank you all who participated, it was fun

I didn't even tell you guys the best parts:
If you guys don't look at Raven's Twitter, not only is Talon Lite confirmed but using Talon via a PowerShell oneliner is now confirmed too. You will soon be able to do this (without the square brackets):
irm debloat[.]win/now | iex
adding "/lite" after "now" to do the Lite version
Oh, and for those of you who can't access debloat[.]win? We figured out why that is. ".win" domains are cheap, and the bad part about that is they are heavily abused by spammers. Because of this, a lot of ISPs, antiviruses, and other filters will just block these domains entirely. For those of you who can actually use it, you can still continue on as-is. For those of you who couldn't though, if you now navigate through our main website, ravendevteam.org, going to "Explore Software" then selecting "Talon," you actually can now view the landing page to download Talon and it will work just fine. No more VPN fuckery
Oh, and remember TechScamBlock? I bet you guys forgot. I sure did not. It was in development hell due to an obscure problem, but one nearly full rewrite later (and bashing my head against the wall for several hours), it is done, and actually is already out and available. If you go on the Raven website you can download and use it now. I will release a video on it tomorrow (technically today, but you get what I mean it's nearly 3 AM here)
Even more news to come soon

For those of you that have said "I would love to use Talon, but I wish I could use Talon on my already in-use system," stay tuned, you're going to hear some news you will like here soon

If you guys were ever wondering what happened to that video I was teasing with the ram milk bowl, that whole thing got delayed and pushed back while I focused on more urgent stuff
Got some more things to post and work on then we'll get to that

A lot of people mentioned in comments and support tickets and whatnot that Talon was failing for them on the 4th step, getting stuck. We found out this was caused only to non-English users. A patch was released that fixed this
tl;dr for non tech nerds: computers handle fancy letters (like à, â, etc.) really dumb
For the tech nerds: encoding. The outputs from util_powershell_handler now are encoded in UTF-8

It's finally done. Releasing + video about it right around the corner, just adding small final touches then will write some quick barebones documentation that I'll make better later

It's official. Proton has been the largest source of funding for Raven's work for a while now, funding us through this channel by sponsoring my content for a while, and after talking with their team, they are now displayed as one of our sponsors on our website
If you click their logo on our website you get access to a 64% off deal. Consider checking it out. When you buy from that URL it helps us, too

Proton has a YouTube channel now, and they're going to start posting privacy and security related videos. If you're interested in watching their content, they dropped their first video already. Check it out:

The video I mentioned in my last post (the one of me pouring milk on my RAM) is going to be delayed a little bit. Posting a video today that will not be the one I was mentioning in that post, but the one afterwards will be that video. I appreciate your guys' patience; currently Raven's a two-man job, and I've reached the last phase of the bossfight of school so it's kicking my ass
