American malware instead of Chinese malware.
Yes but president Chump doesn't care about what American companies do he only cares about attacking other countries. He failed miserably at being horrible to Mexico so now he has moved over to hating China.

He's scared when China can spy on his Americans but if it's his own American government spying on Americans in the same way as tiktok then he will probably be happy with it

While that is true can y'all stop i don't want to turn this thread into a thread from the politics section.

I think the fear is 1/3 of Americans have this app and the data may be used as a form of cyber warfare

Of course it's worse when a hostile nation has your data as opposed to your own government

Unlike Mexico, China has 100% earned the US's ire. I have innumerable complaints about his policies in general, but my only two complaints on Trump's China policy is that it is too unilateral and too inconsistent. Also, remember the controversy with Russia interfering in US elections via US-based social media? China could do the same thing with Tik-Tok, but orders of magnitude worse. Whereas Russia had to rely on clumsy direct methods that anyone could use, the owner of such a platform could use far, far more subtle methods by directly modifying the algorithms that serve content to viewers. Such a method would almost certainly be far more effective and far harder to detect. Data collection is only the most obvious and arguably least dangerous of the potential threats.

Probably still TikTok

Another dead service/product in the long list of acquisitions and attempts Microsoft made because they wanted a userbase off the shelf and not having to earn one. However being Microsoft they hose it up.

    @SylverReZ, atleast wiimmfii went fine although people only use it for Mario kart Wii
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    At least if they ban you for cheating, get another Wii. They're cheap as chips.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Remember when RiiShop was a thing?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    not really
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    It got shutdown because somebody "accidentally" leaked the database for the amount of people using the beta.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    RiiShop is the laziest way of downloading Wii games. Did somebody not think of this through?
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    although i ended up accidentally changing my nand with no way of going back bc i didn't know you needed a gamecube controller to restore it (i have a wii minus/1.1, which doesn't have gamecube controller support)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, I think you're talking about the recovery mode that the SaveMii used, and also was to restore softbricked systems.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    If your NAND was hardbricked, then just buy another Wii. Or go with the dirty NAND flasher method.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    and if i find the sd card i have my NAND backed up on, i can not only restore the NAND if i solder the right part in, but i can also put my NAND on dolphin, then i can play dolphin online, like PMEX Remix or MKWii Riibalanced
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Brb
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Oh yeah, that was a thing too. Dolphin does support Wiimmfi.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah you just need to put your NAND backup with wiimmfi on it
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    ngl i feel like if a bunch of my friends have wiis and know how to get wiimmfi and back up their NAND, then we could do a PMEX Remix tournament
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    maybe even add UMVC3/DBFZ and make it a biathlon/triathlon
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Too bad Excite Truck wasn't multi player :(
