    So here I was, scrolling through my old Wii U notifications when suddenly I find this application called, "Nintendo TVii". I didn't know what it was entirety, so I searched it up, and found this! I might have loved this if I knew about this app a while, while back.

      @mspeter97 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      It was slow, it's a bit faster now but you can't ask much for a console that has 1Gb of RAM of games and apps (the other Gb or RAM is used by the system) and a slow ass processor that is close to the one used in the PowerMac G3 back in 1997...

    Not sure if this has been mentioned already. Like you gambits, I gave up cable service years ago and have been doing just fine with over-the-air broadcast tv. It turns out the TVii system does support this - just choose BROADCAST TV as ur service provider. The system will provide access to all the available channels available in your area.

    According to Wikipedia, "ZIP codes are a system of postal codes used by the United States Postal Service (USPS) since 1963. The term ZIP, an acronym for Zone Improvement Plan, is properly written in capital letters and was chosen to suggest that the mail travels more efficiently, and therefore more quickly, when senders use the code in the postal address."

The jocks or athletes look down on nerds and the nerds hated the athletes for being the most popular in high school as they got all the girls. That all needs to end lol.
