IMO the law is intended to reduce consumer electronic waste, making batteries that anyone from kids to grandparents can easily replace themselves. Currently the steam deck battery isn’t all that difficult to replace for the tech savvy “brave” folks who happily open up their devices and see the internals, but for most people that’s not good enough. I would never expect my 68 year old mother to replace it herself. IMO the aim is to make batteries replaceable like the PS5 SSD expansion capacity is. Just need a screwdriver and a few minutes, without every feeling like you might break something. Needing anything more than that and most people won’t do it out of fear they’ll break their device.

But only time will tell what actually happens.

ifixit: “Battery replacements definitely seem to be the steam deck’s achilles heel”

Easy to open yes, but still very challenging to replace the battery. Doesn’t seem to comply to the new rules to me.

I use Android and I hate drastic change, my brother switched to the apple ecosystem and is constantly showing me cool things. I’ll give Apple one thing, they know how to make their devices just work together with basically no effort. It’s something I wish Android did even half as well.

Just patch it with revanced to work for the foreseeable future. That’s what I’m planning to do.

Okay, so I for sure am running the latest qBittorrent (4.5.4), and I uninstalled Python and reinstalled it (3.11.4 amd64) making sure that access to Path was checked this time. Rebooted and it still isn’t working for me. :-\ I updated the OP with a screenshot of what I’m seeing.

Yes, but you’re still a major celebrity in America!

This is me. I’m going to occasionally see posts that Google links me to, and I may even login once in a while on the website on my PC to browse a bit, but my days of constant participation are basically over.

Reddit Sync IS Reddit to me. I’ve used it at least weekly for 11 years straight. But TBH, the fediverse is very similar and I don’t think I’ll miss Reddit much. Especially as the more niche communities start to develop over here too.
