Because the Steam Deck is just computer hardware. I can already install whatever OS I want to and Steam won't know that it's a Steam Deck anymore.

Saying the Steam Deck is digital only is like saying a tower computer is digital only. That's purely false. If you can put it on a tower computer, you can put it on the Steam Deck.

All the Steam Deck, like many modern tower computers, needs for physical copies is a USB media reader.

Poorly worded but your wifi manufacturer. They put in stuff to "protect" you or "help monitor" your home but all it really is spyware.

Cause we're not at Warhammer 40k levels of insanity... yet.

WiFi and ZigBee can interfere with each other as well since they both run on 2.4GHz and pending on what channel you're on, will royally screw with the other. Moved (nearly) all my Smart Home devices to Z-Wave and has had better connection to nearly everything.

Got myself a Logitech G502X and the Powerplay charging mouse pad. Now I can have my wireless mouse charged 24/7 and never have I think about plugging it or docking it.

Less that they don't want other companies using it and more so they don't want other other companies translating it into something they can use.

Basically, translating an instruction manual from German to Spanish.

No one is breaking any copyright laws or IP to do this. It's the same how Steam created Proton to run Windows games on Linux. It's translating code from one language to another that's readable.

If Linux becomes the dominant gaming platform for gaming (not gonna happen, wish it would tho), there is no reason for a "Proton for Windows" could/should emerge.

It's all dependent on the TSA agents. They're idiots with power to their heads. They make up rules on the spot and you can't do shit about it.

I fly just about every month to different locations and it's completely random what you need to take off and take out of your bag.

Job site got canceled, away from home, nothing else to do. Spent the last few hours cleaning up and "perfecting" my Home Assistant. I'm sure I'll do it again in a few days.

They've released a couple of his pre-recorded videos but turned off the comments. They know they fucked up. 🤣

I would say off only with the capability to view temps. IoT devices are shit when it comes to security and turning on remotely just scares the hell outta me. This is from someone whose whole house is decked out in IoT stuff.

It's definitely a good outlook and very positive for the Fediverse as a whole.
