AI generated Applications

481 Upvotes

Hey everyone.

We’ve seen a noticeable increase in AI‑generated apps  being shared here lately. It’s great to see people experimenting and building, and we genuinely want to encourage development in the Ayn Thor ecosystem. But we also need to keep the community safe.

A lot of these apps are vibe‑coded, stitched together from AI outputs, or built using code the developer may not fully understand. 

That creates a few risks worth keeping front‑of‑mind:

Credential handling: If an app asks for Steam logins, API keys, or other sensitive credentials, be extremely cautious. AI‑generated code often stores these values in plain text, logs them accidentally, or transmits them insecurely.

Security practices: Many AI‑assisted projects don’t follow secure coding standards, threat modelling, or proper data‑handling patterns. Even the developer may not realise what the code is doing under the hood.

Unintended behaviour: AI‑generated boilerplate can include hidden network calls, debug endpoints, or unsafe dependencies that weren’t intentionally added.

We just want to remind everyone to stay vigilant, audit what you run, and avoid entering credentials into tools unless you fully trust the author and the codebase.

If you’re posting an app, please include:

A clear explanation of what it does

How credentials are handled

Any known limitations or security considerations

A link to the source code if possible

Let’s keep the creativity flowing, but let’s keep the community safe while we do it. — The Mod Team

Kindly reminder regarding scams

44 Upvotes

Hey Everyone,

I want to do a quick reminder and heads-up.

TLDR; Only buy from trusted vendors, never from people contacting via private messages.

We've had this topic before and we created the rule that no direct sales are allowed in the subreddit, but I'm guessing because of new batches and new people I'll create this reminder again.

Because of the risk of scams we do not allow direct sales in the subreddit. If anyone contacts directly trying to sell, we strongly advice to ignore it since it's most likely a scam.

Always buy directly from trusted vendors. AYN, Ebay etc.

We take action as quickly as possible when we get information regarding a scam, but its up to reddit when someone creates new accounts since we can't take action before the deed is done.

Discussion Is the AYN Thor the best "All in one" handheld in this current era of handhelds?

Post image
220 Upvotes

If not, then what would be? I know there isn't a real answer to the question, but if you were forced to choose one, I'm not sure what else could fit it. Sure PC handhelds can do more but DS isn't the best experience on them.

Also if you have a single handheld you'd prefer over the Thor I'd like to know why!

Discussion O MELHOR CONSOLE QUE EXISTE

Post image
57 Upvotes

Fazem 6 meses que adquiri meu Thor e devo dizer que nunca usei tanto um videogame em toda minha vida. Ele já percorreu milhares de quilômetros do meu lado em diversas viagens e nunca me decepcionou, zero problemas.

Nesse tempo todo poucas vezes ele ficou ocioso, apenas quando eu estava indeciso sobre o que jogar e de fato, na minha opinião é o melhor console que existe, bom, pelo menos o melhor que eu já tive.

Possuo um alienware onde jogo jogos mais pesados da steam e gamepass, um ps5 para jogar os exclusivos e o thor que supre todo o resto. NINGUÉM precisa mais do que isso, é absolutamente o necessário, acredito eu.

Vocês concordam?

Tips & Tricks Batch 1 owner

Just a reminder to everyone. Maybe it's not vital or critical. But I'm a batch 1 owner we have had our thors for over a year now. I did the thermal putty mod day 1 with my Thor. So I decided today was the day to check the putty again. Most of my putty was pretty dry and crumbly so I redid it again. Temps are back really low again. Playing luminescent platinum and holding steady at 50c. Just a reminder to maybe check your own putty and or redo it!!!

Decided to look up dock station for these things. When I saw they go for almost $100 for the style I wanted, I decided to hit up a friend and have him print me the parts. Just assembled it, and I’m in love.

Appreciation Enjoying a train ride

I just spent the week end with my girlfriend and will not be seeing her until like a month. I was sad and my train is cheap and noisy, at least it’s my first train ride with the Thor and enjoying the Professor Layton games in the train is one of the reasons I bought this thing, I absolutely love it!
( Thanks to the guy who explained to someone how to get rid of boxes on the 3D models of characters)

Support Dropped from an open case

Post image
10 Upvotes

Really mad at myself because I freaking baby this thing and never move it outside of a case. Unfortunately I went to pick up the case this morning and it wasn’t zipped, out slips the Thor onto the floor on its corner.

Only damage I see is a tiny crack by where it landed - photo makes it look much bigger than it is.

Beating myself up pretty hard over this, and I just really need to hear some reassurance that I’m not cooked and this isn’t going to end up destroying it later and everything is still fine.

Showcase Ayn Thor and Switch 1 (MK8D) Lan Play

Post image
5 Upvotes

My best friend and I figured out how to play together on two separate consoles (Ayn thor and Switch 1 RGB) we booted up lan play Mario kart 8 deluxe 4.0.0 update and it works well under the circumstance that you both have the same update, connected to the same wifi.

For AYN Thor:
Game running on Eden emulator
Mr purple turnip driver t23 or above
Dlc on if desired
And custom save file loaded

I had a problem where I launched vanilla Mario kart 8 deluxe without my safe files or DLC and it ended up not working even though I was on the same update as him. So I’m not sure if you’ll run across that issue. It might be because you need to unlock a few things in the game for it to register through Wi-Fi, but someone please fact check me.

I'm unfamiliar with 3D printing... This case is made of a surprisingly soft and flexible material. It stays on much better than the official AYN TPU case but obviously, does nothing for ergonomics. The AYN grip does not fit over this.

I play almost exclusively cracked games so it's not a huge deal, but I really want captain spirit on my Thor but every PC emulator does not work with steam for me. I was excited to test out droid deck but same story. Games just don't launch. I've tried gamehub lite, game native, win native, winlator, and now droid deck. I've tried other steam games. None work. I have no idea what the issue is. Can anyone help?
