  • From my experience AI works well as a alternative to Stack overflow or searching for the answer, or rewording the solution to be easier understood.

    AI is good at rewording the documentation of code so if the documentation isn’t good or written by someone who’s lived in the sauce for too long, AI can be very very helpful.

    But you need to know how to code, and not just blindly copying the output, you need to understand what it’s doing and make sure that it fits your code base.

    I have touched C in ages so AI helped me get to grips with it again when working in a project. But it didn’t write my code, I did. Which made fixing bugs a lot easier when they were found or reported.






  • I recently got a few of these. Miyoo A30, Ambernic RG 28XX and 35XXH as well as an R36s.

    My advise is do your research before buying since all had issues.

    Miyoo A30 has a minuscule battery life (4-6 hours) and had poor thermals (hot to touch). And while it promises PSP and DS compatibility, you’d be lucky to run basic 2d games from these systems.

    R36s I got was a clone system and finding a real one is like finding a needle in a haystack. The buttons were cheap feeling and with the older processor (same as real one) it’s no better than the A30.

    Anbernic systems performed the same and was the best experience… until my 35XXH tried to set itself on fire. Thankfully it didn’t and while talking to support was like talking to a chat bot. I was able to get a replacement. So far no fire.
