expand & rewrite unmineable warning, minor grammar fixes, readd 'different browser' fix but yeah, I hate Chromium too so left out that part
(readd no unminable notice, py doesnt exist on linux, python 3 has to be installed, not only downloaded, the extension is .JPG, not .jpg, I didn't make it uppercase for no reason, better leave year empty than get it wrong, fuck chrome based browsers) |

'''Mii Mining''' is the name for one of two processes that allows you to find a console's <code>movable.sed</code> without the help of an outside resource. This method should only be used if both BFM and Manual Mining are confirmed unable to work, as it is significantly more time-consuming. | '''Mii Mining''' is the name for one of two processes that allows you to find a console's <code>movable.sed</code> without the help of an outside resource.
