Yeah, nothing makes me want to invest in cryptocurrency more than an ad featuring world renowned rapist and human trafficker, Andrew Tate.

what's the point in turning your house into a robot if it just sounds like Dave from accounting and the interface is just saying words at the ceiling

bear in mind, nowadays I complain that a laptop has "only" 100 megabit ethernet because that means I can "only" transfer ~10mb/s to or from it at once, now imagine 5 people having to use less than half that, all crowding the same SSID, and walls and signal strength being factors.

i think i remember our internet connection being ~40 megabit, nominal
so combine the fact it was all 2.4GHz WiFi, with how many people were using it, with the inherent slowdown caused by WiFi over Ethernet and the suck of late 2000's satellite internet and you have misery

if a sufficient cloud happened between this 20-acre property and space, your internet would just die, and I remember having to watch youtube on the Wii in 144p just to get smooth playback on the wifi connection, it was BAD.

I had to deal with satellite internet in the mid-late 2000's because I lived in the middle of bum-fuck nowhere, it was absolutely miserable to deal with

but the guy could have owned most of his games on physical media and I just can't get access to the savegames because I can't open Settings right now, so when I get the gamepad I am DEFINITELY checking out the save data for more info on when the guy got the console

so if I were to guess, the guy used the console for only up to 2 years because the WiiU launched in 2012, but since I have no evidence of any use from before 2014 (yet)...

There's also one single game, Wii Sports Club (from the summer of 2014).
So that pretty conclusively tells me that thing hasn't been used in 12 years.

so I just tried to see if I could access my WiiU's web browser without a Gamepad (the answer is no) and the browser was last on a pirate website trying to watch Guardians Of The Galaxy, meaning it's not been used since about the fall of 2014.
