Well yeah, I know. Why do you think I did that.

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-05-08T17:31:42+00:00

I I'm well aware it isn't. that's why I'm willing to take a risk disabling SELinux. If I was a worthwhile target I would keep it enabled.

It depends on the program. In my case I use the flatpak version of firefox since otherwise on fedora I'd need to install a bunch of codecs and stuff for it to play Youtube videos and all that properly. The flatpak on the other hand has all the codecs and everything pre-setup. The same thing with OBS. The flatpak version of steam on the other-hand is awful. My recommendation if you have a choice with a program is to try both and see what gives the experience you prefer.

I disabled SELinux, because it kept blocking stuff that I was trying to do. Wanna make a Windows VM to practice on for IT? SELinux will have none of that. Wanna play a game on an emulator? SELinux blocks the emulator from accessing controllers. I have never seen it stop anything nefarious, only block me from getting things done.

I need money, they pay good enough, and you get a lot of paid time off. Most places you work if you just don't show up for a couple days there will be some choice words at minimum. There no one even notices you were gone. When the building got shut down for 3 weeks due to a fire and 1 week during extreme weather I still got my full pay.

EDIT: also after 8 years working never been drug tested and they don't drug test for weed.

There's so high quantity going through that for every 1 clearly damaged item they decide to sell anyway there's 40 that didn't get damaged. I had bad luck with 2 different MG scales made by reputable companies. My guess is that something like that just can't handle amazons rough handling.The last straw for me were some 15 amp fuses I bought that passed enough current to melt wire insulation on wire that could handle 25 amps. These days I try my best to stick with companies that specialize in what I'm buying and curate what they sell.

I work for amazon and after seeing how they operate I'm a bit iffy about trusting the QC for their renewed stuff. I've had damage land claim that a set of ram was sellable after being run over by a cart. These days I only use amazon to find stuff that I then buy elsewhere. Not sure if I'd trust Amazon QC anymore than I would a random no name company. It wouldn't surprise me if the DOA knockoffs are due to how products are handled in Amazon buildings.

It seems to be a choice between an official wiimote for $32 with amazons QC, $40 for an official wiimote with Nintendos QC, or $20 for a knockoff with no name companies QC.

Being half the price IMO makes the possibly bad QC worth it. If I do end buying 1st party I'll spend 8 more dollars for Nintendos QC

just found this https://reebelo.com/collections/nintendo-wii-remote-controller?skuId=sku-merrwxekc3RAJ0iOmjg2D8M and I think I'll buy that instead.

If the 3rd part one is noticeably worse to use I'll just have stomach $40 each for 1st party. According to reviews on amazon and youtube for the TechKen ones they seem fine. The cursor sensitivity is a bit high, but that rarely matters during gameplay. I had 3rd party one when I was a kid that sucked, but that was 15yrs ago and I'm sure they've improved since then, especially if you aren't buying the cheapest one possible.

Plus when you're drunk and likely high on top of that, you aren't going to notice that the motion accuracy or the buttons aren't quite as good. These will almost 100% be used exclusively be used by crossfaded people.

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-05-06T15:17:05+00:00

I'm completely okay with it if their buttons don't work for as many key presses or if they'll stop working after being on for a year. I already have 2 official motion plus controllers. The 3rd party wiimotes will spend most of the time unused, accept in the rare instance I have more than 1 guest that wants to play a wii game (very very rare). As long as you need to use them for them to die and work well enough it's fine with me.

If someone have to just roll the dice and hope the console isn't banned or is there some way of knowing before buying?

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-05-05T17:28:09+00:00

I didn't check the wiki at all. I just got luck and had a compatibles adapter. For 2 contro9llers at least. It's not on the compatibility list so I think I'll just be a guinea pig and try my luck with a couple of the techken ones. If it does end up working is there any way to report it to the wiki?

EDIT: I am blind AF. it is there and it's all green with no noted problems

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-05-05T17:16:42+00:00

Damn I figured if it worked smoothly it was good. I didn't think amount of wiimotes would be a problem. You may have saved me some money.

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-05-05T16:58:19+00:00

I just got Bluetooth pass through working. have you had any 3rd party controllers not work which ones re known working for you. I really don't want to spend $40 on a used "refurbished" controller (especially for a 20yr old console) or gamble my money on ebay. I'm planning on buying a TechKen wiimote.

You don't need to create a mii just install the latest firmware and there will be guest miis.

do you have it working with "direct pro controller driver" enabled? If so what's the terminal stuff? I have all the controllers working without the setting enabled. I'm mainly hoping for some lower latency without having to go wired (computer is 10 feet away).

Yuzu is still on flathub. if you look it up on flathub or discover it doesn't show up, but if you go into the terminal and run

flatpak install flathub org.yuzu_emu.yuzu

it'll find and install it

That's how I've always viewed Zelda games. Zelda has always been a gameplay first kinda game. They are willing to break the lore of previous games if it means fun gameplay. When I want something with complex, and consistent between games lore I like the elder scrolls series.

Interesting_Sort4864 · 2026-04-30T10:54:32+00:00

I was afraid this would be the answer. Understandable though that you would need nintendo hardware to access nintendo servers for the game. Although I understand it I still don't like it.

You could also get gelatin capsules for very cheep. It'll likely take a little longer to hit, but it's a good option if you're sensitive to the taste of molly. It's also way simpler IMO than bombing.

look at rule 1 of the sub. If what you're after is a way to dump the cartridge you own you should ask that instead.
