  • Yep I still have my hylian shield 2dsxl hacked and going strong, it’s the only 2 screen device I need and I’ll just buy another when it dies.

    I’m in the same boat with you, my rp5 is working now but we’ll see how long it lasts

    RP3+ - Wi-Fi dead, retroid refuses to replace or fix since it’s out of warranty (1yr)

    Original flip - straight up does not turn on anymore. retroid refuses to replace or fix since it’s out of warranty (1yr)

    Classic 6 - does not fast charge as advertised and fan is super loud. Let retroid know immediately upon receipt, they confirmed the issue, then strung me along for 6 months until I opened a chargeback.

    Just such a shitshow



  • Ayn is retroid, both are owned by moorechip (they’ll deny it). They make the Odin if you’ve heard of that. They are slightly more “premium” than retroid, but still plagued by the same quality control issues and sourcing of discounted, second-hand parts.

    There’s already controversy with this one because I’m pretty sure a battery exploded recently, and people are waiting for the hinge to break (there was a post about one already but Ayn is insisting it’s mold marks in a dumb place). Regardless, they couldn’t get it right with the flip or flip 2 so I wouldn’t want to be a beta tester with this one.

    Great way to play dual screen games if you don’t care about longevity of the device and you’ve got $500 lying around that you wanna waste instead of spending on a steam deck

    Edit: apparently op’s link literally shows the hinge issues on the Thor, they’re confirmed again this time around, what a shocker






  • Mate, religious people didn’t fill the museums with dinosaurs without feathers. Scientists gather evidence… then fill the gaps. Flat earth, earth is the center, quantum theory, quasi-crystals, the list goes on and on, if anything is disingenuous it’s saying that scientists DON’T fill the gaps for the things we don’t know. THAT’S ALL WE’VE EVER DONE. Religious or not, no evidence, some evidence, or “a lot” relative to our tiny corner of space, humanity, historically, fills the gaps so we can pretend to understand things we’ve only just recently become capable of even observing


  • Except it’s COMPLETELY relevant, because ALL of the evidence you’re talking about is what humanity has gathered throughout our tiny blip of existence. It doesn’t matter what we should have done, if your whole point is “don’t fill the gaps with stuff we don’t know,” using scientists etc. as an example, when, historically, we’ve done nothing BUT “fill the gaps,” and incorrectly at that.

    Like yes, there’s evidence to support the theories, but that does not change the HISTORICAL FACT that our theories are CONSTANTLY CHANGING based on new evidence that we now have to “slot in” and make work with the current evidence… Until we find more evidence and start all over. We’re just… way too overconfident with our “facts” when we literally don’t know shit. Trying to pretend we understand, like a monkey thinking a microwave is a flashlight



  • I completely agree. Unfortunately, we don’t do that. We fill the gaps. That’s what we did with the dinosaurs, with everything. Where we don’t have proof, we have theories. They are not fact. But presented as such by way too many people. I’m simply comparing the two and saying how ridiculous it is to say ANYTHING is “VERY unlikely” or “very likely” when all we really have is theory. It’s just… Incredibly ignorant with the little amount of info we have. So to go one way and fill the gaps while claiming we don’t, but go the other and guffaw because there isn’t evidence, is hilarious.

    Edit: it’s just, that’s literally how we’ve ALWAYS done it, historically. Humanity was taught that earth was center of the solar system and that it was flat. Until we learned better. We thought washing hands between operating on patients was crazy, until it wasn’t. Tryna say scientists don’t fill gaps, where you livin
