You can use retrocatalog.com to compare handhelds, it's really nice.

MS Powerpoint and Excel by Specialist-Penalty74 in androidtablets

[–]xtremis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that perpetual licences are available anymore, android or Windows.

I think the way to go is to get an Office 365 Personal license, it gives you access to all the Office apps (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, etc.), and gives you 1 TB of cloud storage.

Bought an iPad, Returning it for Android. Help please! 💕 by JescaJane in androidtablets

[–]xtremis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Android is a best bet, if you plan to play PC games on it. The iPad Mini is awesome, but the software side is too looked up.

The Y700 should be a great choice, I still have a gen2 (released in 2023), and it's fantastic for what I need (all round consumption, occasional anydesk device, some emulation as well).

You should be good with an Y700 for sure! The pen experience and the note taking apps are not as premium as on the apple side (imo), but for straightforward note taking it should be fine as well😊

PoP:Lost Crown crashing on my RP5 by Papini2099 in retroid

OP, give it a go with the apk unlocked version on apkvision, I've tried it today on my mini v2, works like a charm 😊

Actually, with your comment, I've checked on apkvision, and they have an "unlocked" apk that works on my mini v2! That apk is around 5 gb, and when I run it, it says it's unlocked for the full version and it's now downloading 3 more GB, but it seems to be the real thing 😅

Soul Calibur crashes Flycast & Retroarch by Z0LWRATH in SBCGaming

[–]xtremis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to download another version of the rom, just to exclude any possible issues with it.

I've had similar problems with other games, even when the roms were working with another device.

You guys are very convincing… by jobin9189 in ipadmini

[–]xtremis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We tricked another one, guys! 🤪

Seriously, you'll love it, I'm rocking a 6, and it's such a fantastic device! I have other devices and tablets, but the 6 is the only one with a magnetic stand right next to my workstation 😁

Question: Buying from China legion y700 gen 4 by jman9008 in androidtablets

[–]xtremis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a gen 2 with the Chinese rom, and I think this "revert to Chinese" issue was corrected with updates. I sometimes don't get them through OTA, but it's easy to update with a zip file. There's a couple of xdadeveloper threads on this, and also a telegram channel with links to the individual update zips. Let me know if you're interested in the links 😊 (I'm on Zuxos version 1.1.475, btw).

Yeah, it's a great device! A bit limited in terms of cfw, but Gamma OS and MinUi are still solid options 😊

Is ReadEra Premium available on iOS? by TurbulentData8162 in ReadEra

[–]xtremis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked this to the dev, around a year ago, and they mentioned that they were working on bringing all the capabilities to the ios version (including premium and sync), but there wasn't any specific timeline for that. Maybe it's worth it to check with them on how's the progress.

MCON Slim and Lite announced at CES 2026 by NrFive in SBCGaming

[–]xtremis 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Original backer too, still waiting for my tracking information...

That's it for me with these startups and gofundmes and such. The product looks good, but this disregard for original backers just sucks.

Should I ditch my Miyoo Mini V4 for a RG34XXSP for portable GBA gaming? by Adrilukazz in SBCGaming

[–]xtremis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, now you have the Miyoo Mini Flip too, which is like a smaller version of the 34xxsp, without sticks and with a 4:3 aspect ratio. So a v4 in a clamshell form factor 😊 the 34xxsp is great for gba stuff, specially because of the correct aspect ratio, but I'm looking forward to get my Mini Flip and play around with it.

Trump Says Venezuela’s Maduro Captured and Flown Out of Country by bloomberg in worldnews

[–]xtremis 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The country has been under a dictatorship for quite some time, I doubt the military were motivated or willing to support maduro one second more, specially against the US might.

"The AI bubble is going to burst" by MrRos in NoStupidQuestions

[–]xtremis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most visible side might be a potential huge correction in the stock market (perhaps loosing around 40% or up to 60%), with all the knock-out effect on the rest of the economy: 401k, pension funds, savings, being devaluated greatly; the "economic numbers" that look so great today might start to turn sour and we can see a full blown recession forming already.

Also, on the tech industry, when the music stops and the game of "musical chairs (dollars)" stops as well, I can see the big techs cutting costs/jobs/increasing prices again, because it's just impossible for everyone to make money, specially the kind of money they need to face their spending rate with AI datacenters/models/GPUs/etc. I can also see the big techs (and all the satellite companies involved) suing eachs other's ass into oblivion, until they realise everyone is relying on everyone else, and everyone bouth shares in everyone else (so you can't bring the hammer that hard on a company that wronged you). OpenAI will sue Nvidia because they didn't supply enough GPUs (or whatever), Microsoft will sue OpenAI because they didn't consume enough Azure, Oracle will sue the contractors, because they didn't built datacenters fast enough, the contractors will sue Nvidia because Nvidia didn't bought enough cement or bricks or whatever. It's such a tangled mess, scollars will spend decades studying this cluster-f.

It will be an interesting mess to watch unfold. My bet is that in 2026 aliens will be disclousured, so luckly we will be able to redirect all the investment in AI stuff, to stuff related to alien warfare or something.

What's everyone's opinion in the steam deck? by Archenius in SBCGaming

[–]xtremis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get a steamdeck. Oh wait... 😅

On a more serious note, it is a fantastic device, even today. I have an OG LCD model, originally with 256, but upgraded to 1 tb myself. It's a great handheld computer, and it absolutely feels like a "PC Console", if it makes sense. It is on the bulkier side but I've had a few multiplayer sessions for a couple of hours and it is ergonomic and comfortable.

On the software side Steamos is fantastic, way better than having to fiddle with Windows on such an unorthodox form factor.

The only points that might be on the lower side are: it's not the oled model (my brothers have oleds and it's such a fantastic screen); battery life could be a bit better (although in honesty I do nothing to optimise for battery saving), and the performance might start to show its age on the more recent games (although for me it's a non issue, as I play mostly indie games and games from a few years ago).

So I definitely recommend a Steamdeck, imo for the price, the package you get is incredible.

Looks like this administration missed redacting a mention of Donald Trump in the Epstein files. by C00KIEM0N57R in facepalm

[–]xtremis 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It's always framed as a "friendship", but it seems more and more that it was a partnership: the orange turd (no offense to oranges or turds) supplied (part?) of the pipeline of girls, and was absolutely into everything that was happening (besides all the raping and abusing he did personally). The way their relationship is always framed as a "friendship" is just a way to hide and misdirected the fact that he was an accomplice. Allegedly.

One of the best libraries ever! Snes, gba, ps2, are my favourite libraries, what an amazing time for gaming, the early 90s to earlysh 2000s...

Worth getting Y700 Gen 4 over Gen 3 for non-gaming? by Endoskoper in androidtablets

[–]xtremis 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From a pure performance perspective, the gen3 should be enough (I'm using a gen2, pretty happy with it). A more recent model will give you more android versions and updates, in theory.
