Jailbreaking the Wii U is a little bit more involved as it requires some “special” equipment. It’s in quotes as not many are going to have a USB A to ethernet adapter, nor a compatible model, but they aren’t all that rare either. But once it’s done you don’t have to worry about jailbreaking it again. Dumping Wii U games isn’t much harder than GC/Wii either.
Not OP, but I have dumped my own collection of GameCube and Wii games.
The easiest way to do it is with a jailbroken Wii since it’s not hard to do. Once jailbroken, the dumping process is about 12 minutes for a GC game and about 20-30 minutes for a Wii game (I forget the exact time). So with that in mind, you can make a rough calculation for how long it will take to dump your collection.
There are a few unmentioned steps, like converting the games from .iso to .rvz to save on space, but it’s rather easy to get going when you have a guide to follow.
Just be aware that you’ll be wearing out your outer front tire much faster than the others by doing that. That’s the tire doing most of the work constantly turning your two ton vehicle.
Plushie Dreadful! A friend got me the genderfluid one. Though now you have me considering that one.
Adjusted for inflation that would be… $4.99 today…
Can confirm about the unrest. My friend group is discussing these events daily. And a few of them are actually going out and protesting. I’m likely to join in this summer.
EUbuntu?
Agreed. 2/10, would not recommend to a friend
Hmmm, a nuclear based propellant. Might be easiest to make it a pulse based rocket so you can use a bunch of tiny nuclear explosions to propel yourself into space. I’m sure that won’t have any environmental ramifications.
GTA 3 came out when I was in 3rd grade and I remember my dad renting it from Blockbuster. My mom was not thrilled.
I personally remember thinking, “This is like Driver, but better.” I think we eventually bought it a year or two later, but my mom wouldn’t let me play, so I to do it when she wasn’t around.
However, I can remember multiple strings of 6+ digits at once. Used that ability as a kid once while on a road trip. I remembered a restaurant’s number from their road sign (area code included) for several hours so we could call them when we eventually got back to the hotel. This was well before cell phones were ubiquitous.
By that definition, I would say they reached that milestone quite a while ago.
When I tried Sony’s 5 IV last year, it came with a headphone jack. Most of Sony’s lineup comes with it I believe.
I like that he’s being environmentally friendly by using metal straws.
Or is that because real straws would disintegrate in the gasoline?
Define “meaningfully”. There have been several different types of innovations in recent years depending on how you look at it.
Mazda made a gas engine that can switch from spark plug ignition to compression ignition. Though I don’t think they brought it to the states.
Nissan made an engine that can vary its compression ratio on the fly. Something no other engine can do to my knowledge.
Hyundai made a cam shaft that can vary the length of time it opens and closes the valves rather than just varying the time that they open.
There’s a company called Speed of Air that designed piston heads that have dimples in them like a golf ball. Those dimples apparently can significantly improve the engine’s power and, more importantly, its efficiency. Though I don’t have a video link talking about that. Just their site.
Porsche also designed a 6 stroke engine. Though I’ll have to watch the video again as I don’t remember much about it.
If you want to get more experimental, someone made something called a rotary vane engine.
People are definitely still trying to find ways to improve the internal combustion engine. It’s just this technology takes time to reach the mainstream, if it ever does.
