Episode notes
Use A Throwaway Account For Risky Apps
- Use a secondary Google account when signing into Gamehub or other questionable services.
- That reduces risk to your primary accounts while letting you use the software's features.

- At that price, Federico suggests considering higher-performance Windows handhelds instead of upgrading immediately.
Thor Could Be The Next All-In-One Handheld
- The AYN Thor's dual AMOLED screens and strong chipset position it as a potential all-in-one handheld for emulation and streaming.
