    Minox? I have never heard of this admin/mod before. ngl not seeing the usual admin/mods removing posts is kind of funny to me. I wonder how this Minox is doing

    The dude obviously deserved it because he was selling pirated games through his online store. What a way to fuck your life up, no amount of lawyers will defend you.

    Guess nobody learned from the Redditor who got a C&D for selling modded Switches with pirated games. We truly have hit the apex of fucking around and finding out. :rofl2:

    FAFO using the same username for main Nintendo account and hosting game copies:

    Nintendo’s lawsuit against Williams began in June 2024. The company was able to track him down through Reddit, where he was apparently a member of the SwitchPirates subreddit. He had a similar Nintendo Account that Nintendo linked him to. Under that account, he previously filed for hardware repairs, so it wasn’t difficult to obtain his address.

    Man, it feels strange using Bluesky back to back in college. Whereas it's not blocked on my work laptop and phone, when you try accessing it on the PCs, unlike every other social media website and forum I can access, I can't do it for Bluesky. Which is strange considering Twitter I can access it.

    A likely explanation is that the college PCs use DNS-based website blocking. When you connect to a website, it'll ask the DNS to retrieve the IP address of the website and go to it if it's accessible. But in the case of website blocking, the DNS compares it to a blacklist and will stop connecting to that particular website if it found a match.

    Well... That didn't last long. I guess I can't just really adapt to Linux after all...

    I miss having Fedora, and I remember that Hyper-V exists. So I wanted to test it on my MSI Pulse Gl66 and it definitely runs. Better than having to Dualboot (for now)

    I'm officially letting go of Windows on my HP EliteBook 840 G1, and putting Linux Mint XFCE on there. Depending on whether or not I feel like it, i might replace it with the normal variant since it's been upgraded to a SATA SSD and 16GB or DDR3, but for now, it can't even handle Windows 10 IoT LTSC.

    It's unfortunate that I've had to come to this conclusion, but at least I'm doing it at the comfort of my second most favorite Linux distro of all time. I always wished to have a stable PC that can run Linux on, but my gaming laptop has a NVIDIA GPU, and my college laptop is for college purposes until I get a Framework or another adjacent laptop. Thing is, if Framework is too much of an expense for me personally, I don't know what alternative I could get for my MSI PULSE GL66 12UKV.

    Any PC that handles Vista/7 should also run 10.
    In the past I've had bad experiences with HP laptops not properly detecting their power supply (wattage). Then they silently default to an extreme(!) slow mode and only work normally on battery power.

    If the power connector has a needle like pin in the middle it is one of those supposed to tell the computer their wattage. I've the same 🤬 on my Dell, but at least it gives an warning message on boot when this power negotiation fails.

    I am SO GLAD I'M able to have Brave as a portable install on my SSD needed for college. I dislike the fact that Edge, Chrome, and firefox installed on the systems don't have an ad blocker, and it makes going onto websites that the class offers barely usable and easily prone to getting viruses. I know that Chrome just removed all their MV2 extensions but luckily this (and Helium) have their own self hosted versions. I would use Helium, but they don't have a built in password manager, BUT I have a local backup of such in the case that I lose Brave's access and such.

    Scarlet and yeah, I can't install ANY extensions on the browsers provided by the web browsers installed on the PCs.

    Just so you know that I won't be going anywhere until I get old to keep navigating this place, either due to dealing with family problems, or moving onto better things in life. Time flies super quick when you've joined for over four years to help someone out with a question, only to become fixated with the community.

    Posting to reply in DMs on Mobile just absolutely sucks now. I still have to temporarily switch to desktop mode to even be able to send a message, and it's been like this for a long time now. And I don't understand why in normal threads and profile posts, it works fine but specifically in DMs, it doesn't.

    my goodness there's an insane amount of mixed opinions regarding the use of AI in coding projects (esp with the polethora of de-re-comps and ambitious ports and stuff. what even is the golden standard atp

    Now that my Wii is back to normal with Ohneschwanzenegger, I'm now wondering if it would be best to start fresh when it comes to modding this machine. This used to be working with mods from the early days of modding from my father, and it started having weird issues for when I was trying to update the mods with whatever it is nowadays. Maybe re modding the system and making a NAND backup might work? What do you guys think?

    Should I leave it as it is with no mods or re mod it? I really really wished that it doesn't have problems again

    Tried going to the Mii Maker again to see if I can reproduce the same issue from before, and... Yep, same issue. 100% a hardware problem. Oof...

    Voltage regulators on the Wii are known for failing.
    Considering the age NAND chips are potentially degrading. You could try EnuNAND.

    Capacitors can be problematic on any old device.

    Whoever came up with the name of this Wii NAND image building tool deserves a special place in hell. I cringe each time it is mentioned.
