Only if you’re bad with money. Nothing wrong with credit cards themselves, and most of them these days are credit/debit cards.

How do you suggest people pay for Spotify?

Does it damage my phone in any way if I use a faulty cable to charge it? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

A cable making your phone say “slow charging” doesn’t mean the cable is “broken”.

Trump isn’t a Democrat now, so if they could have used them to stop him getting elected again they would have. They didn’t.

You do realise that the guy who crashed admitted in court that he was rummaging around for his dropped phone and wasn’t even looking at the road when the crash happened, right?

Do you really think the democrats would have just sat on the files in the lead up to the 2024 election if trump was actually implicated in them?

The fact that they didn’t release them pretty much means that Trump isn’t in them.

ArkOS - best settings and changes to make? (lemmy.net.au)
 

This is my first time using ArkOS - are there any settings changes that people always make first when setting up a device with it? What GUI do you like? Can you download different ones?

Favourite retro/emulator Handheld device? (lemmy.net.au)

I've recently moved from using my PC to emulate retro games to a R36S (game boy style but with 2 analogue sticks as well) handheld and have fallen in love with having them in a portable device.

I'm looking at purchasing a bigger and much newer and more powerful device so was looking for advice on things like what the pros and cons of some popular devices are, what OS people prefer, what emulators people use, etc. My R36S is running ArkOS which is ok.

I'm thinking a clamshell device would be nice, but a Switch-style would be fine as long as the controls aren't too snug. As close to "full size" analogue sticks would be ideal too, I hate and can't get used to tiny ones like on this R36S or sliders like on the 3DS.

Don't really have a set budget. Would like to be able to emulate up to and including Wii U via Dolphin if possible, but I know that's pushing it. PS2 or DC level would be acceptable too. Alternatively a really good "up to and including PS1" device would be an option.

Some that I've seen that look good:

  • Retroid Flip 2

  • Anbernic RG556 (I think the 557 isn't getting very good reviews)

  • Retroid Pocket 5

  • Anbernic RG Arc (because the Megadrive 6 button controller is the GOAT of the 8/16 bit generations.

  • Anbernic RG CubeXX

Indian Government orders censoring of accounts on X (x.com)
 

X has received executive orders from the Indian government requiring X to block over 8,000 accounts in India, subject to potential penalties including significant fines and imprisonment of the company’s local employees.
