Interesting: mine claims it's October 2019, at least that's what it shows me when I create a note.

That seems to be the right keyword, thanks. I'm not familiar with Shell commands myself, but my husband is; so he could help me. Otherwise, I would have stopped reading after the USBNetwork's ReadMe.txt:

If you don't know what that means, then you probably shouldn't even be trying to use this.

If you don't understand half of what's written here, see the previous paragraph.
Two questions left before asking my better half for assistance. I couldn't find the answers in the related thread or on the wiki page.
  1. The package includes two different installer .bin files: one for pw2_and_up and one for touch_pw. The "touch_pw" version is the right one for both, KOA3 and PW 10th Gen? The "and up" makes me hesitate, and I own both devices.
  2. Is there any risk that the Kindle could use the PC's internet connection and update the firmware while being connected that way?
