So I have found my Nintendo Wii I have bought back in 2014. The Wii I bought from someone had the Homebrew Channel and the USB Loader GX.
I was checking some channels and I remembered that I had Super Mario downloaded so I went on the Wii Shop to download it back. Before I entered the Shop I turned on WiiConnect24, after i turned on the Shop it asked me to System Update even if the System Menu is already 4.3E. I can update the Wii without any errors but what worries me is the Homebrew channel. Before the update it says that it will remove all unauthorised modification, and that has a possibility to brick my Wii. I don't know what the update does will it destroy my console or will it just update the Shop Channel. Thanks!
(I am kinda new to modding and I don't know how to remove the HBC or the USB Loader GX).

If your wii was not originally Korean and poorly region changed, an official update isn't that risky (just risk of power failure at a crucial moment)

Or u can just use modmii, it works fine even under the poor region change scenario
Thank you for replying and no my my wii was not originally from Korea and the region didn't change it stayed european. I will try the offical way.

i think the update is expected to include the following:

* Change cIOS to a stub and make cIOS non-functional
* Removes older versions of the HBC(titleID is "HAXX"). It does not affect recent HBC.(titleID is "LULZ")
*Update channels that are included from the beginning (e.g. Mii channel)

Therefore, it is unlikely that the update will brick the Wii, but if you have installed cIOS, you may need to install it again.

    I do but the optometrist I got my glasses at last year was expensive as fuck even WITH my insurance, so I'm gonna order on Zenni and see if my insurance will reimburse it. And if they won't, then, oh well, still will be cheaper anyway
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    $90 for the safety glasses on Zenni, vs my daily wear glasses were >$200 after insurance
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Haven't been to the eye doc in like 3 years but was pretty surprised they cut the glass in office had the in like an hour ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    That's pretty sweet, I had to wait like a week or so for mine to be ready
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Lookin at buying another pair of regular glasses too. And maybe prescription sunglasses
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah most just ship off to a lab could always call around to see if new ones have in office glass cutters
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    too much effort + im shy and social anxiety :( lmao
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I just wear them when I drive cause I'd like to actually read signs
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Think they said I'm far sighted or some bs
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    My eyes aren't that bad, I need mine for driving but ever since I got my latest pair I wear them all the time when I'm home now, I never used to before
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm near sighted though
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I feel like docs just say you're this and that for the insurance claims half the time
    +1
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    But even my computer monitors, that are like 3ft away when I'm leaning back in my chair, so much easier to see now with my glasses than without
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Doc was cool though, he measured my old glasses and I wanted to try different contacts than I had had previously and he's like "hmmm I bet you're this strength and that strength" and damn dude was dead on the money
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    lmao that clip
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Know a guy who did laser surgery for like 2g but argued you'd never need glasses again
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    laser eye surgery scares me
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    The thought of any kind of surgery shit being done on my eyes gives me unbelievable amounts of dread and anxiety, and with the potential risks or side effects that laser eye surgery has, I don't think my eyes are bad enough to warrant it. I can see without my glasses - not great, but not bad either.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Yeah I feel that if it gets to the point where all I see is blurry then I might consider if
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Just do it like in Minority Report. Won't feel a thing.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Is it the full van? If so t's suspiciously cheap.
  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Ah, the 2000€ is only the deposit
