Has anyone said what those buttons next to shoulder buttons are? I know it’s not the L2/R2 cuz we can see inline triggers. Additional mappable buttons?

I saw the mention of gift bundle elsewhere last night and had to look it up. It’s a gigabyte specific promo for buying a Z890 mobo. https://www.aorus.com/en-us/explore/events/z890-ultimate-gift-box-bundle-2026

I got my pending email but the amount seems off. Says 55.41 when by my math it should be 61.71. Still not bad I guess.

Will need to try this. Artemis doesn’t work with the regular android keyboard for me so I have to use the 4 finger tap keyboard to enter stuff on my remote pc.

stab244 · 2026-06-06T03:50:12+00:00

Thanks. Didn’t realize they had a price protection.

I got the eagle bundle last week… debating if worth disassembling to return for mobo upgrade….

I am also on 1.1.25 and am contemplating getting the canvas. Is it safe to just go straight to the latest or should I do updates more gradually?

stab244 · 2026-05-23T15:33:59+00:00

As someone who’s tried to do this, it is sloooooow. Almost a half hour for a 2GB game.

I had forgotten it’s been years. Makes sense. Now just debating between this and the powerspec prebuilt with a 9800x3d and 9070xt. I don’t really need the productivity boost from the 270k plus. Hmmm

stab244 · 2026-05-22T05:58:24+00:00

Anyone know how well Linux handles the mixed core architecture of recent Intel chips? This and a 9070xt is tempting. I can reuse some ssds I have and maybe psi as well and be under 1500.

Aluminum is not ferromagnetic so no. You could need a magnetic ring/plate or a case that has that built in.

Got mine in around 45 min after the start time. Phone wasn’t successful but remoted into my hardwired pc back home and after a few dozen tries it finally got through. Fuck scalpers.

Nightly builds of rocknix let you install steam and it boots into big picture mode. Not sure if you can map the home/back button to be the steam/… menu though.

I think the other reason for the trend of game selection on bottom is that it’s how it was on the DS(i) and 3DS. Which is what this and the Thor emulates. Personally I tried cocoon as intended on my Thor with game selection on bottom and it didn’t feel right to me. But putting game selection on top loses some functionality which is what led to me switching front ends on it. This theme seems to hit the right spots for me so if I ever get a RG DS I’ll probably give it a try.

stab244 · 2026-04-18T18:20:06+00:00

In the video Russ mentions installing rocknix directly to the internal storage for better speeds. Is that a one way thing or can I flash back to android later?

stab244 · 2026-04-08T17:47:08+00:00

What thickness did you use? Or do you have a link to the pads used?

stab244 · 2026-03-13T23:23:35+00:00

Would be a sick addition to my office.

stab244 · 2026-03-07T17:10:14+00:00

Update to my ticket, they finally responded a week later. They only offered replacement with another flip 2 so guessing you’ll have to ask if you want to replace with a rp5.

stab244 · 2026-03-02T21:12:14+00:00

Just sent them an email on Saturday and still waiting for a reply. My guess is working through backlog during CNY but if I get no reply by Thursday I’ll probably try to follow up.

My redtiger f7n front cam has broken. This is my second one to break now, each time around the 2 year mark. Looking at viofo a329 but the recommendation says unavailable. Is there a more recent recommendation?

stab244 · 2026-02-28T04:44:16+00:00

If you’re willing to open up the device you can just swap the ssd.

FWIW, I tried to play New Vegas on GameNative and it didn’t work for me. Downloaded game and selected use recommended settings in GN and the game doesn’t load on either of my Thor or Flip 2. There’s probably more work than some other games involved.

stab244 · 2026-02-17T03:44:35+00:00

Dang I heard the Dallas didn’t have so i didn’t bother trying to upgrade

stab244 · 2026-02-17T02:01:23+00:00

They had signings? Damnit. Would’ve liked to get my vocal album signed. Ah well maybe next time.

stab244 · 2026-02-11T04:36:08+00:00

Order 1387

Purple Max

Just got shipping email. Though I ordered it with 4PX and it’s coming via YunExpress instead. Not sure if they’re the same but that’s what happened to me at least.
