So is this project (a) taking the real Wii parts and putting them on a smaller PCB, (b) a different design with a more efficient same-architecture CPU, or (c) an entirely new design that is emulating the Wii hardware? Can the device run the

Even if you're right that everyone prefers interfaces "now" to stuff 20 years ago, that doesn't necessarily mean that it's because people are wrongly biased against new redesigns. New designs have problems and bugs

In addition, wg-quick appears to use the rule-based solution with multiple tables by default. As I understand it this should make Wireguard (with wg-quick) users on Linux immune to this attack. My default route sends traffic to my gateway,

Seems about right. The EPA uses a conversion factor of 8887 g CO2 emitted per gallon of gasoline consumed. [1] Assuming 40 miles per gallon, as above, that's ~222 grams per mile for the theoretical ICE car, a little over 2x the emissio

I experienced this in Librewolf as well, it happens when WebGL is disabled. Should probably present a visible error to the user when this happens.
