• 60 out of 100 times it’ll “sync” and freeze with all 4 LEDs on. The Wii U does a little beep but doesn’t show the controller and no inputs work.
• 38 out of 100 times the same thing will happen but with all LEDs off
  • You need to remove the batteries in order to take the wiimotes out of these states
• 2 out of 100 times the wiimotes actually connect, but show with 1 battery bar and almost no inputs go through (and the ones that do are extremely laggy, except for the power button)
  • The manual states that if this happens you can remove the batteries, wait 3 minutes and connect (without syncing) again. That does fixes it sometimes, but it really only worked once for each wiimote.
  • A truly successful connection only happens after the “low battery one”, and even then it seems to be hard to achieve for the first time.
    • Afterwards you’re supposed to be able to reconnect without syncing and then not encounter the issues anymore. That was true for the pink wiimote, but the blue wiimote had to be synced again. I spent quite a few hours trying and wasn’t able to get a successful connection.
    • If you connect the pink wiimote that was working when the other wiimote is in the 4 LEDs freeze state it’ll break the connection of the other one and make you need to sync it again
      • Now none of my aliexpress wiimotes are synced and idk when I’ll be able to sync them again

The killing of two unarmed Palestinians by Israeli soldiers in the northern West Bank city of Jenin
has provoked international outrage
after video footage of the incident went viral on Friday.
Credited to the local Palestine TV station, the footage shows two young Palestinian men surrendering to Israeli soldiers
and lying on the ground in front of a garage under soldiers’ instructions.
They then appear to be directed by the soldiers to go back inside the garag…

Outrage after footage of Israeli soldiers executing two Palestinians in Jenin goes viral
Human rights organizations call the killing of two unarmed Palestinians in Jenin by Israeli soldiers an “extrajudicial execution.”

“I watch others from afar—chasing dreams I cannot reach, climbing ladders I cannot touch, celebrating victories that sound like whispers from another life. They wake without fear. They plan without hesitation. They move through a world that no longer belongs to me. And I… I measure my days by the tremor of explosions, by the moments when the sky feels ready to collapse.
War steals more than homes—it swallows the ordinary: quiet mornings, free laughter, hands meeting without trembling. …

I live where the sound of silence is broken only by war.
The world outside my window moves on without me—laughing, learning, loving, growing—in colors I cannot touch. Here, the streets are hollow bones. The schools, silent graves. Time itself lies ...

Someone asked me, “Have you read the latest Dan Brown?” There’s actually a mention of MISP in The Secret of Secrets. And yes, it fits surprisingly well within the story. Alex Conan (who assists Jonas Faukman in the investigation) mentions that he detected the activity using FTK, and that the indicators were later reused by the threat actor (having a hit on a MISP instance).

“But before I could build the algorithm, my FTK scan returned a hit. One of
the IoCs from th…

From reporting about last night's World Series Game 6: This is the kind of amazing act that makes someone a professional. Not only the sensory ability but also the ability to act on it in a fraction of a second. And it completely changed the game's outcome.

I just noticed Deque changed its logo from the combined ‘D’ and ‘Q’ letterform (visually representing the pronunciation) to the ‘AI’ anus (or “AInus”) of the big LLM purveyors.
I bet this was for Deque’s 100% WCAG ‘AI’ coverage, which must be getting released today to honor its March promise.

The Trump administration has sought to punish its enemies through mortgage fraud investigations overseen by the Federal Housing Finance Agency
and through criminal probes that Trump personally demanded the attorney general pursue.

Enlisting the Pentagon in this effort poses a unique threat to American democracy, according to historians, retired military officers and legal experts.
Long-standing taboos against using the armed forces to further a president’s political machi…

Hegseth conscripts the Pentagon for Trump’s ‘retribution campaign’
In threatening to deploy the military justice system against Democrats, Hegseth has joined Trump’s norm-shattering bid to punish political foes.

I’m not really sure what it means, given the state of the world, but I guess in an aspirational sense, at least, as in “against all evidence to the contrary, here’s hoping 2026 will be a…”
Here’s wishing you all a Happy New Year.
(Except the fascists. They can get fucked.)

Netflix has removed the ability to cast shows and movies from phones to TVs,
unless subscribers are using older casting devices.
An updated help page on Netflix’s website, first reported by Android Authority, says that
the streaming service “no longer supports casting shows from a mobile device to most TVs and TV-streaming devices,”
and instead directs users to navigate Netflix using the remote that came with their TV hardware.
The change seems to have rolled ou…
