Steam deck showcases perfectly how all usual consumer electronics are not made for you but for company to make bucks by delivering the bare minimum feature set for highest price.

I don’t think I can name any other device, appliance, car or anything that actually is made purely to deliver the most to the user. It’s a single anomaly and I don’t think this will last long or at all, let alone is some trend that will continue.

From all my purchases over the years it was a single device that not only matched expectations but exceeded them x 2 or more. I bought iPad Pro m4 oled around that time too and ipad in comparison is just a little bit more than what it is supposed to be, severely limited, for a hefty sum even though they say apple is a king of hardware.

Apple is not a king of hardware but a master of making money. Valve makes things that are actually awesome (but probably not profitable)

It’s probably temporary and brief moment but I am sure going to make the most out of it before it falls under the waves of enshittification again.

To be honest I don’t know how all these big companies still make money and are popular with how rudimentary, limited and OK their products are. I am like "what kind of fucking loser is slurping up all their stuff" oh… it’s me
