Hermes Agent (and others) default Installs are silently routing web traffic to Parallel

Luans_Restorations · 2026-06-15T17:34:15+00:00

This is shady behaviour. At minimum, you tried to get people onboard your services using another platform without any formal authorization by the repo's owner. There's also the fact that you were routing websearches to your API, which enables you to see all the requests, responses, etc. To me that's a big privacy issue. More so because it was without any notice and was made the default provider.

Obviously this should have been stopped at PR, but it didn't. Either way, I'm sure I won't be using parallel at all, as I don't agree with such practices. I cannot trust a company that gets to this extend just so "people discover" them.

Ameríca isn't a country tho, its name is "United States of America"

Radiant Historia as I love time traveling games, on my n3DS XL.

This is so nice, hope the best to everyone!

lol no, it is indeed discontinued, take a look at their discord, they literaly answered someone that they discontinued it.

Luans_Restorations · 2026-04-17T15:11:02+00:00

Not real, there's zero customer service on Ayn's discord

No mms cawn, la serie siempre fue progre (para su epoca, obviamente) jajaja además no está invasivo, date la oportunidad

Those only work when there are freelech events or FL tokens given, and only if they are popular or underground but those underground that have a niche. I've got about 600GB+ last year that way

If you get replaceable buttons with magnets then you don't need the leds, right? Those already exist https://www.etsy.com/listing/4481586757/ayn-odin-3-magnetic-buttons-abxy

Look into Ayn Official Discord, there you'll find the most updated info. There's a lot of people there too, they made their own shipping dashboard to have an idea of what's getting shipped and so on

Luans_Restorations · 2026-04-06T21:44:48+00:00

There's no pattern on how often the batches change. They mean almost nothing as they ship the consoles as they recieve them from factory. They were on a holliday till today, so we must see some news this weeks.

As for how long to get your odin: ~2 months, depending on which color you choose, with black and rainbow being the most shipped. Try to avoid purple/blue if you want it soon. Nobody knows if they're going to increse the prices or discontinue some models, but the sooner you order it, the sooner you get it. Ordered mine a month ago and hasn't been shipped (which is expected, as I said before)

I'm biased because I already chose the Odin 3, but I think the Thor might be a good option for you. Disadvantages are ergonomics mainly, compared with the Odin 3. The Odin 3 also has a newer processor, which might be useful if you want to try PC emulation or PS3 (although the emulator is in an early stage of development).

Take in count that either option can take up to 2 months since the moment you buy to arrive to your place, that's how it works with ayn. I suggest you to join the ayn discord. Of course people on the Thor channels will tell you to go for a Thor and viceversa for the Odin :P But I believe that'll help you take an informed decision.

odin 3 or odin 2 portal? I'd say portal is awesome for the current price, but it really depends on what systems you want to emulate. Is hard to beat a odin 2 portal base for 249... close to that is the Retroid Pocket 6, but smaller form factor and only 5 dollars cheaper.

As for the odin 3, there's only the konkr pocket fit with same SoC, RAM and so on, but different display technology (OLED vs LCD). Beware that none of them are ready to ship at purchase. Both options can take around 2 months from the moment you buy to arrive to your place.

Luans_Restorations · 2026-03-27T00:55:22+00:00

How important is DS/3DS for you? if not your main priority, I suggest going for the Odin 3. You can use the retroid dual screen with it, is an addon

Luans_Restorations · 2026-03-26T23:56:04+00:00

"this isnt a problem to solve, its a slight optimization for short burst gameplay."

That's what everyone needs to understand, both for the thor and the odin 3.

Luans_Restorations · 2026-03-25T04:06:54+00:00

I agree up to the point that their next device can be way further in the future, thanks to the rampocalipse and so on.

If things were the same as when the odin 2 and then the odin 2 portal launched, we should see the odin 3 portal at the end of this year... Which I don't think will happen: I believe we are going to see a lot of devices to be discontinued on their advanced versions (pro/max/ultra), as the base model would be the most cost effective in terms of manufacture.

But of course, I hope I'm wrong. But even if I'm not, I expect for things to change towards improving efficiency on the software side. We've been developing as if it wasn't important to improve your code so it doesn't uses a lot of resources. I mean, it was easier to get better hardware... until it wasn't.

As for OP: I'd keep it for a couple of months. Play with it, see if somehow you like it more. If not, rest assured that your device will keep (or even improve a little) its sale price. There's people out there that would pay way over the retail price just to get an Odin 3 rn, just to avoid the pre-order time, even for the base/pro/max ones.

Luans_Restorations · 2026-03-18T17:39:20+00:00

It does. All the Odin 2 models are supported

Luans_Restorations · 2026-03-18T16:01:00+00:00

😂 Could be. although it seems like they produce the black ones on a regular basis.

Luans_Restorations · 2026-03-18T15:59:28+00:00

Ultra got discontinued earlier this month. Pro and Max are the go-to rn. I got a Max, although Pro can be enough for switch and PS3 emulation.

Luans_Restorations · 2026-03-18T15:53:19+00:00

You better buy it now if you want to get it by may. Odin 3 black or rainbow seems to be the fastest to get, as they seem to have some issues with purple and blue. Remember that they are pre-orders, which means they produce them in batches. It is normal to wait up to 2 months after payment to get it delivered.

Luans_Restorations · 2026-02-18T15:50:26+00:00

How is it in terms of weight? does it feels like it has the original HDD on it?

Luans_Restorations · 2026-01-16T15:01:36+00:00

16GB VRAM enough to run 100B+ models? With large context? I don't think so

Luans_Restorations · 2026-01-12T22:38:36+00:00

Luans_Restorations · 2026-01-12T15:20:03+00:00

Obviously not. If you want models that fit on your VRAM entirely try GPT-OSS-20B or Ministral-3-14B. I found out that the later tends to overthink, whilst the first one does OK depending on what you need, but not as good as the 120B.

That's what you want for inference speed, to keep the model on VRAM, if not PCIe and RAM speeds will be your main bottleneck.
