  • Installing Nintendo Wii Wi-Fi Board

    Wrong chip This is wireless chip

    I have updated the guide to reflect this. I confirmed it by googling the part number on the module (DWM W004).

  • Banana Teardown

    Quote from mbishop:

    This is clever, but I've found it more effective to simply pinch the non-stem end of a banana between two fingers. It easily breaks and lets you peel back the banana, retaining the stem (like keener31).

    I tried this today, and it worked great except that when I got to the end, about 1/3 of the banana fell on the floor. Luckily, it was still edible. I'll have to perfect my technique.

  • Banana Teardown

    Quote from oblivio92:

    Explain your methods for avoiding that strange spike going into the base of the banana. Is there any way to maximize the amount of this weird-looking thing that is removed?

    I just bend it off. When you pull it to the side, it pops off.
