Marriott hotels have custom firmware on their TVs to prevent you from changing inputs.

Doesn't something have to be planned initially in order for it to become delayed?

They'll definitely keep trying too.

It's a handheld that can play basically any game through the previous generation and even some current AAA titles. If you have a steam library already, most of your games are suddenly playable on the go. The hardware is open with spare parts easily obtainable so that you can repair it yourself if you drop it. Valve is very engaged with maintaining and updating the software to be an enjoyable experience whether you prefer console or PC. Because it is subsidized by software sales the hardware costs less and drove down prices in the industry for competing products. When my 10-year-old motherboard gave out in my desktop, I was able to use the Steam Deck as my primary PC for a month while I took my time putting together a new computer. Also, you are very correct that it has had a meaningful impact on Linux gaming.

In my opinion, there's a lot to like.

They make more money by porting it to PC after a couple years rather than keeping it exclusive forever.

My desktop PC kicked the bucket after 10 years a few months back and I ended up using my Steam Deck as my primary computer for about a month. In that time I learned that Linux isn't so bad.

If forced to either pay a subscription for Windows or switch to Linux the choice seems simple for me at this point.

You cared enough to reply. You seem really upset about this topic. Everything ok?

Given current technology the choices are to either hold something that a hundred other people held that day before you or to use your own phone with an app.

Applications do have choices when it comes to permissions. Just because it's an app doesn't mean it has to be intrusive.

That said, there's no way a national chain would put out an app without collecting data.

If you find yourself talking a lot to defend a prior statement maybe stop and consider it for a few minutes before posting.

Certainly this could be done with QR codes and a phone app?

It's about oil and profits. They want us to need a car to go anywhere. More cars, more oil, more profits, RIGHT?

The software was labeled with their brand.

I heard external displays aren't working on 3.5

I heard it's not working well with external displays. That's a no-go for me until external displays are working.

I was in a relatively new hotel. They likely aren't going to throw out existing TV's but when it's replaced, no more steam deck connection.
