WSL2 with Syncthing

Hi, I just wanted to use Syncthing inside my WSL, however, when I run it there is “unknown device” everywhere.

Check browser developer console for errors

The “unknown” I see is because it’s a build without version info (using an old version of Go). I suggest grabbing a recent binary from Github.
