Ayn Odin 2 vs Retroid Pocket 5 (europe.pub)

So I narrowed it down to these 2 and looking for some feedback.

I mainly want to play GameCube and Wii games but would also be interested to play Wii U and Switch games in the future, so would like a device that can in principle support those.

I understand the Ayn Odin 2 is more powerful, but I wonder if the ~$80 price difference is justified based on performance alone considering the Retroid Pocket 5 has a better screen and battery.

Again if that difference is what is going to make or break emulating Wii U and Switch at some point in the future, then it would be money well spent in my view. Just not sure that’s actually the case - What would you advise?

And if it is the Odin 2, is the Base model going to be OK or would I need more RAM as in the Pro and Max models?

Bonus question: I’m in the EU - Should I order them from the official websites shipping from China or find a EU reseller on AliExpress? They’re actually a bit more expensive on AliExpress, but I’d really like to avoid having to pay a 20% import fee if I buy from China.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of good single-use virtual credit cards. Specifically for online purchases like flights or hotels where you can limit the card to one time use or a max limit? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Revolut has a single-use card feature. The (virtual) card regenerates with a new number after each purchase.

I have an old Raspberry Pi 1 (!) still going strong with Batocera Linux running NES, SNES and Mega Drive (Genesis) emulators.

I’m looking for easy multiplayer games that can be played with a 5yo. Non violent and ideally co-op, bonus points if somewhat educational.

Depending on your ISP and router you might be able to install WireGuard on it. More generally self-hosting a VPN is pretty straightforward.

How do you get that custom fastfetch output?

Why does Tumbleweed insist on reinstalling YaST? (europe.pub)

Following the announcement of the demise of YaST, I adapted my tumbleweed installation to the new setup by installing Myrlyn and Cockpit, and removing YaST:

sudo zypper rm -u yast*

However it’s already been a couple of times that when I zypper dup several yast packages get pulled in for installation.

Is this how it’s supposed to be? Or can I prevent this behaviour?

Thanks!

Installing Leap while preserving btrfs @home subvolume (europe.pub)
 

I’d like to install Leap 15.6 on an older laptop which is currently running Tumbleweed.

I have a single partition with btrfs and the standard subvolumes created during the original Tumbleweed installation.

Can I install Leap while preserving the btrfs @home subvolume? I played a bit the partitioner in expert mode but couldn’t find an obvious way.

Thanks!

Well that’s because Telegram is likely the state messaging app they’re talking about! 😄

Awesome news! Recently migrated from lemm.ee to piefed.social and europe.pub so very much looking forward to being able to use Mlem for both.

[Batocera] Is there any way to enable multiplayer gaming on Game Boy Advance using two locally connected controllers? (europe.pub)
 

I have an Rpi with Batocera installed and two SNES controllers connected with USB.

I can play NES and SNES multiplayer games perfectly fine, but not on GBA.

Is there any way to emulate local multiplayer gaming on Game Boy Advance?
