I have an LU64 Wii with Homebrew Channel, CIOS, and the Trucha bug installed. I was thinking of trading it to a cousin of mine for her older Wii so that I can install Bootmii and anything else that an LU64 Wii can't do. She isn't into Wii modding, but I was going to leave that stuff on there. If she gets a new game that requires newer firmware, would the update just delete the stuff I installed or would there be a risk of it bricking? Also, could they send it in for repairs under the warranty if they returned it to a normal firmware? Thanks.
Hacking Is it safe to update to the official firmware?

Updating to 4.2 will get rid of some things, like cIOS and the old versions of the HBC. But you can easily remod it if you choose to do so.
And since yours is a LU64 Wii you already have boot2v4, you don't have to worry about the boot2 update happening and screwing things up.

FenrirWolf is correct, but even without a softmodded Wii the rare occasion of bricking STILL happens! Even if your Wii has no evidence of homebrew, updating to 4.2 has a small chance to brick. Updating to 4.2 is iffy.

It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem. -

the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze -

but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in

There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.

But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".

Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
