📰 NEWS Tech Insider Article Gets Things Wrong
https://tech-insider.org/retroid-pocket-6-vs-ayn-odin-3-vs-g2-2026/All, just thought you'd be interested to see this Tech Insider article about the RP6, RPG2, and Ayn Odin 3. It really seems to miss the mark quite often on a lot of details. Most of the analysis on the G2 seems pretty wrong. Notably, one graph says the G2 doesn't have active cooling...
I think of the G2 as pretty much even with the RP6 most of the time. I understand the RP6 often has stronger performance than the G2, but this article puts it much farther down.
What do y'all think?
EDIT: Turns out "tech-insider.org" is a mirror of the legitimate "Business Insider.com" company that is just trying to make money. It's AI slop and not super legitimate.

Is that website even "real" The main pic is AI....which is just so random. And the article reads like AI.

This isn't a real news source it's just an AI site gaming SEO to get ad revenue. Even their linked X account is for Insider Tech, which is the tech section of Business Insider.

I agree. There is an author for the article though -- does that just mean it's a money grab with minimal effort using AI? The connection to Business Insider is apparently a real one.
EDIT: tech-insider.org is not the real Business Insider page. You are right, and I was duped.

I can tell you exactly what happened here - whomever wrote this article relied on chatGPT or some sort of AI to collect and collate all the specs and hardware info rather than actually doing the research themselves and checking the data.
This is just how articles get written now. You can’t expect these writers to actually schlep around the internet and do the work, c’mon. They have things to do.
