steam deck, right to repair
Valve has put out a new video showing a teardown of their new Steam Deck console. The thumbnail literally says "You shouldn't do any of this." The video itself explains the (perfectly valid) reasons why, but also shows how to do it properly if you're gonna do it anyway. They also mention that you can buy replacement parts directly from Valve.
This is honestly a really great stance for a hardware manufacturer to take on the Right to Repair movement. WARN, don't restrict.
See, Apple? Is that so hard?
