How to fix motion input persistence with simulated motion controls?

I've noticed that when binding motion simulation to a control stick or keyboard, whenever you make a tilt input, the Wii software doesn't seem to properly recognise when the accelerometer is returned to neutral. Specifically, there is a small amount of input persistence in whatever the last direction you tilted the simulated accelerometer in on each axis. So if you tilt left and then return the accelerometer to neutral, the software will continue to register a slight tilt to the left, and this will persist until you input a right tilt, at which point this input will persist when you return to neutral. Both X and Y axis tilts persist independently of each other, so in the first example, tilting forward after the left tilt instead of right will result in both a slight left AND forward tilt input persisting.

This even seems to happen when using the TAS input menu, so I don't think it's a case of me not setting up the simulated motion controls properly. The Wii just seems to not properly recognise when you return the controller to neutral (which presumably wouldn't have been noticeable on real hardware, since it would be functionally impossible to hold the Wiimote perfectly level and stationary).

Is there a way to fix this? Is there some kind of trick you can use with the simulated controls to force the Wii to register a dead-neutral input? So far the only thing that seems to work is disconnecting and reconnecting the controller, but obviously doing this after every single motion input is not practical.

What exactly is "VulgarWordsUsage.db" and should I be concerned?

So, I found this weird file on my mac when I was trying to locate a file that got saved to the wrong location (still haven't found it yet. Thank you Finder for being completely useless at actually finding anything). What exactly is this? Does it actually work?

Sidebar not displaying on desktop for one specific subreddit only. All other subs working normally, and "see more" section on app for that sub still works (which is the app equivalent of the sidebar). What's happening?

So, whenever I go on one specific subreddit on desktop, the sidebar loads for a split second, and then disappears, with no way to bring it back. This isn't happening on any other subreddits, and it isn't happening with the "see more" option on the iOS app (I'm logged into the same account on both). Disabling browser extensions did not work. What is happening, and what can I do to resolve this?

Grok "translation" fails to translate basic katakana transliteration. Mistakes SMB Banana Rumble (2024) for 2006 Wii launch title SMB Banana Blitz...

By the way, Banana Blitz wasn't even called "Banana Blitz" in Japan. It had a completely different name that neither resembles the English name, nor Banana Rumble.

Had an idea for a topic Matt could cover: "Things you believed for way longer than you should have". He's done similar concepts before, but I don't think he's done this specifically.

Of course, I have a submission: I believed for way longer than I should have that plantains were miniature bananas. The source of this belief? This Family Guy joke...

I conducted a survey of the Mario Kart World map to determine how much of the map's coastline can be traversed in Free Roam without Lakitu abducting you. Green = in bounds, Red = out of bounds
