Okay, so I'm connected through my son's Wii using the Internet Channel at 480p (component cables) and it is all right. I thought there was a charge (500 Wii points?) for the Internet Channel but it came up for free so I downloaded it and added a USB keyboard.

The return key and the Enter key on the numeric keypad both advance the line but I'd like to know how to click OK without reverting back to the WiiMote.

That's about it. It's cool enough but I wonder what it will be like to try and edit this post.

Edit worked fine. It popped up a big keyboard which is a bit annoying considering that I have a USB keyboard and thus won't be using the WiiMote to "type".

Another problem is that something is wrong with my component cables and I'm getting some snow/interferance. The composite 480i cables don't have this problem and I've tried two TVs. I don't see any bite marks from the kitties but one never knows.

Yeah, they offer the channel for free now and gave a free WiiWare-Game to all buyers of the channel (yes it was 500Points)...:)

You can connect any USB-Keyboard to the Wii? Didn't know...:)

Yeah, I plugged in a Microsoft wireless keyboard/mouse combo but the mouse didn't do anything. They keyboard does work, however.

I tell you, 720p would be nice for the Internet channel.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article?
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
